AI extracting terminology

Language Service Providers have long relied on termbases and style guides to ensure consistency across large translation projects. But manually curating terminology is labor-intensive and often misses emerging client-specific jargon. Neural Terminology Extraction (NTE) changes the game by running deep-learning models over existing bilingual corpora to surface high-value term candidates automatically.

Key Topics Covered

  • Model architectures: How transformer-based encoders identify multi-word expressions with high precision.
  • Workflow integration: Embedding NTE into CAT tools so linguists validate rather than hunt for terms.
  • ROI analysis: Measuring time saved in pre-translation when term extraction scales to thousands of documents.

Early adopters report a 40% reduction in term-base creation time and a significant bump in consistency scores during post-editing. By year-end, NTE will be a standard feature in most enterprise localization platforms.
