Boyu Guan, Chuang Han, Yang Zhao, Chengqing Zong
摘要
Video-guided Machine Translation (VMT) seeks to enhance translation quality by incorporating contextual information derived from paired short video clips.However, many VMT samples are text-sufficient; even when visual information is needed, only minimal cues are required.Aiming to tackle these issues, we propose a novel framework DART (Disambiguation-Aware Reasoning for Videoguided Machine Translation).Reinforcement learning is used to incorporate multimodal large language models' multimodal reasoning into VMT.The model dynamically switches between text-only processing and multimodal integration, contingent on the necessity of visual disambiguation.Furthermore, we present TVRF (Translation-oriented Video Relevance Filtering), a systematic pipeline for constructing training data based on multimodal relevance to translation.This pipeline filters samples where video information is translationrelevant, mitigating training collapse caused by video-irrelevant data in conventional VMT.Experimental results show that our approach improves multimodal information utilization in VMT, yielding gains in both translation quality and computational efficiency.* Equal corresponding authors.Reasoning: Okay, I need to translate the input sentence ...
