📢 New paper: Applied interpretability 🤝 MT personalization! We steer LLM generations to mimic human translator styles on literary novels in 7 languages. 📚 SAE steering can beat few-shot prompting, leading to better personalization while maintaining quality. 🧵1/

I love and hate this at the same, bit of double think. On one hand this is a very much needed improvement to translations but on the other hand human translators already get paid so low and this is just another excuse for companies to pay them less.

Indeed, but we also show the other side of the coin: personalized generation and its evaluation remain extremely challenging, and IMO professional human translators are still essential to produce a truly original, publication-ready final work as of today.
