Rewrite to Translate, Translate to Reward: Reinforcement Learning for Source Rewriting in Machine Translation

arXiv:2606.08011v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Rewriting source text with large language models (LLMs) before translation has been shown to improve machine translation (MT) quality. However, we find that prompt-based rewriting can degrade translation quality rather than improve it, particularly when smaller LLMs, such as 4B-parameter...
