The adoption of Machine Translation technology for commercial applications is hampered by the lack of trust associated with machine-translated output. In this paper, we describe TrustRank, an MT system enhanced with a capability to rank the quality of translation outputs from good to bad. This enables the user to set a quality threshold, granting the user control over the quality of the translations. We quantify the gains we obtain in translation quality, and show that our solution works on a wide variety of domains and language pairs. . | TrustRank Inducing Trust in Automatic Translations via Ranking Radu Soricut Language Weaver Inc. 6060 Center Drive Suite 150 Los Angeles CA 90045 rsoricut@ Abdessamad Echihabi Language Weaver Inc. 6060 Center Drive Suite 150 Los Angeles CA 90045 echihabi@ Abstract The adoption of Machine Translation technology for commercial applications is hampered by the lack of trust associated with machine-translated output.

However widespread adoption of MT technology remains hampered by the lack of trust associated with machine-translated output. This lack of trust is a normal reaction to the erratic translation quality delivered by current state-of-the-art MT systems. Unfortunately the lack of predictable quality discourages the adoption of large-scale automatic translation solutions. Consider the case of a commercial enterprise that hosts reviews written by travellers on its web site. These reviews contain useful information about hotels restaurants attractions etc. There is a large and continuous stream of reviews posted on this site and the large majority is written in English. In addition there is a large set of potential customers who would prefer to have these reviews available in their non-English native languages. As such this enterprise presents the perfect opportunity for the deployment of a large-volume MT solution. However travel reviews .
