One of the challenges in neural machine translation (NMT) is its lack of customizability — the ability to configure the engines with glossary and style guides. Globalese 3.1, an NMT system developed by Morphologic Localisation, introduces the new feature augmented in-domain adaptation where a user can use a smaller amount of core corpora and larger auxiliary corpora to build an NMT engine which is trained for a specific domain. In this presentation, we will explain this new feature and present some case studies in Asian and European languages.

Takeaways: Attendees will learn the latest development in research on the customization of NMT engines and tips on building an effective domain-specific NMT engine.
