EasyTranslate thinks augmenting LLMs with humans will give it an edge over pure AI translation services | TechCrunch

Jun 26, 2024 - techcrunch.com
EasyTranslate, a content translation company, has launched a new generative AI-driven platform called 'HumanAI'. The platform uses large language models (LLMs) to translate content more accurately, involving human translators only when necessary. This approach reduces translation times and costs. The platform uses a mix of LLMs, including OpenAI, and its own recommendation systems, running off its own algorithms and customer data to provide customized content translation. The company's founder, Frederik R. Pedersen, claims that HumanAI can reduce translation costs by 90%.

The platform's unique approach involves creating a short-term memory with an LLM, allowing it to translate between different types of English while preserving the text's meaning. Pedersen explained that the platform identifies parts of the content with a low confidence score and uses humans to correct it, increasing productivity. Despite the advancements in AI, Pedersen believes that AI still needs human feedback to improve. EasyTranslate, which has raised a total of €3 million to date, offers its services at €0.01 per translated word to global businesses such as Wix and Monday.com.
