New 'Translation with Thought' framework improves machine translation quality and efficiency

Researchers have developed a new framework called "Translation with Thought" (TwT) to improve multi-domain machine translation. TwT mimics human translators by adapting its reasoning process based on the complexity of the text, using a combination of supervised fine-tuning and reinforcement learning. The framework was trained using distilled reasoning traces from DeepSeek-R1 and rewritten by GPT-4o. Evaluations across numerous benchmarks and languages showed that TwT models, even smaller ones like TwT-7B and TwT-14B, achieved superior translation quality and reduced token usage compared to larger state-of-the-art reasoning models.
