Summary of Phase 1 Objectives and Task Types
The main goal of Phase 1 is to collect enough vocabulary and a variety of grammar and sentence structures to help the AI learn the target language and produce a machine translated draft.
- the main task type in Phase 1 is translation of 1200 Bible verses from the source language into the target language
- the focus is on vocabulary collection and sentence structure
- if the 1200 verses do not provide enough information for the AI to create an acceptable rough draft, other documents in the source language will also be translated into the target language
- the translation of additional documents also helps the AI model to produce a more natural-sounding first draft
- another task type in Phase 1 is Peer Review - or quality assurance, every translated verse is reviewed by another team member
- periodically, team members are asked to provide feedback on the quality of the machine translations
