Researchers have developed a framework to improve literary machine translation by leveraging multi-reference datasets. Their approach filters these datasets based on semantic similarity to identify variations that are meaningful yet faithful to the source text. The study found that fine-tuning translation models with medium to high semantic similarity data yielded better results than using low similarity data or the entire unfiltered dataset. While synthetic translations are cost-effective, the research indicates that fine-tuning with human expert translations still outperforms synthetically augmented data in both automatic metrics and human evaluations.
