*D-Real CRT, ADAPT Centre, DCU* *Title:* MT system selection and recycling/fixing candidates in a hybrid set-up *Supervision Team:* Andy Way, DCU / John Kelleher, TUD Description: Domain-tuned MT systems outperform general domain MT models, when they are used to translate in-domain data. It may not always be known in advance of translation time which domain is best suited to a particular text or sentence, and even for a known domain like software, some strings may be better translated by a general domain system. This gives rise to a number of research questions, including: Given multiple domain-tuned NMT systems, and translation candidates, how do we analyze an incoming string and determine which system will do the best translation at runtime? How do we best assess which translation candidate is the best choice?What are the best approaches for NMT? Also, if we have access to recycling (in a Translation Memory), when is a recycling match better than an MT candidate? Can NMT help fix high quality TM matches? Can a better translation candidate be found by combining elements of multiple translations, from recycling and MT systems? Can post-editing data be leveraged, e.g. a form of automatic post-editing approach? What is D-Real? The *SFI Centre for Research Training in Digitally-Enhanced Reality (D-REAL)* is an innovative, industry partnered, research training programme that equips PhD students with deep ICT knowledge and skills across Digital Platform Technology, Content and Media Technology and their application in Industry sectors. D-REAL postgraduate students will make research breakthroughs in areas such as multimodal interaction, multimodal digital assistants, multilingual speech processing, real-time multilingual translation and interaction, machine intelligence for video analytics and multimodal personalisation and agency. D-REAL* PhD students will develop skills for next generation human-centric media technology. **This particular PhD involves **placements in Microsoft Dublin.* We are accepting applications for *fully funded 4-year PhD scholarships starting in September 2019*.
