IndicTrans2 adapted for conversational translation across 21 Indic languages

Researchers have adapted the IndicTrans2-1B translation model to better handle conversational language across 21 Indic languages. By employing techniques like experience replay and model souping, they improved conversational translation quality without significantly degrading performance on general text. While quantitative metrics like chrF showed gains, human and LLM evaluations did not consistently confirm perceived quality improvements, suggesting the gains are primarily in matching conversational register.

IMPACT Improves translation quality for conversational use cases in Indic languages, though perceived quality gains require further validation.
