The Efficacy of Pre-editing as a Means of Improving NMT Output

Neural machine translation (NMT/MT) replicates human brain networks and is often considered a “black box” due to its unexplained structure and function. To use NMT effectively, target-language (TL) learners should pre-edit source-language (SL) documents, similar to how humans paraphrase first-language (L1) texts before translating to second-language (L2) (Tsuji, 2024). Previous studies have shown that pre-editing

Abstract

Neural machine translation (NMT/MT) replicates human brain networks and is often considered a “black box” due to its unexplained structure and function. To use NMT effectively, target-language (TL) learners should pre-edit source-language (SL) documents, similar to how humans paraphrase first-language (L1) texts before translating to second-language (L2) (Tsuji, 2024). Previous studies have shown that pre-editing
