Joke Daems & Lieve Macken published new research in Machine Translation journal on comparing translator interactions with adaptive SMT and NMT versions of the Lilt system.

The paper is titled: "Interactive adaptive SMT versus interactive adaptive NMT: a user experience evaluation" and compares the quality of SMT and NMT output as well as the translation process of professional translators working with both versions of the tool, their preference for SMT vs. NMT for post-editing, and their attitude towards such an interactive and adaptive translation tool compared to their usual translation environments.

The paper is available via Springer Nature ShareIt.
