DESCRIPTION
TAUS recently performed an extensive study of the machine translation market and estimates its size at $250 million. Despite the relatively small size of the market it has outsize impact and innovation power. TAUS believes that MT technology is a key enabler and a force multiplier for new services and growth. In our report we cover different uses of MT technology, survey players and offerings in the market and analyze the impact of large online MT providers and open source technology. We identified 65 MT operators and break down the market by offering type and region. We analyzed market trends, opportunities and challenges as well as market drivers and inhibitors. Based on our data and observations we venture a few predictions for the MT market. This presentation is a part of the MosesCore project that encourages the development and usage of open source machine translation tools, notably the Moses statistical MT toolkit. MosesCore is supported by the European Commission Grant Number 288487 under the 7th Framework Programme.

TAUS Machine TranslaCon Market Report ExecuMve Summary o Market size: $250 Million, growing 16.9% per year o “Perfect storm condiCons” for MT o Key trends:
§ GlobalizaCon, IntegraCon, Convergence, VerCcalizaCon, Immediacy of communicaCon, Privacy – security, High quality translaCon
o OpportuniCes: § Business expansion, IntegraCon of MT, ProducCvity gains, MT as enabler for new
services, Narrow domain applicaCons, Customer support self-‐service o Challenges:
§ False expectaCons – false starts, Quality of MT, Language coverage, Available training data, Specialist skills, Vendor lock-‐in, CompeCCon from free MT, Quality measurement & esCmaCon
o PredicCons: § Post-‐ediCng MT will grow very quickly and become the primary producCon process in
translaCon within five years. § MT technology itself is on its way to become a commodity, shiJing the Holy Grail to
the data

Open Source Machine TranslaCon o Open source toolkits available for all approaches to machine translaCon
o Development of a complex MT system core including a decoder (component that performs the translaCons) § Shared effort of a loosely organized group of expert developers § OJen developer group is mostly academic § Licensed under open source license allowing any use including commercial use o JusCfied by public funding of academic efforts
o Most popular/established: the Moses StaCsCcal MT toolkit
o Has significantly changed the market dynamics in the MT supplier market

Open Source Machine TranslaCon Moses Business AdopCon Models Model 1 Model 2 Model 3 Model 4 Moses out-of-the-box
Moses with open source/free add-ons
Commercialized Moses
Hybrid MT
Download and build Moses and associated components yourself
Pre-built installation to make getting started easier Additional scripts to support language industry needs
Web-hosted or self-hosted
UI to build MT engines and translate documents Various add-ons for data cleaning, post-editing, language support etc.
Moses combined with other MT technologies (e.g. RBMT engines) to provide high-quality MT output

Open Source Machine TranslaCon Observed Moses AdopCon PaZerns o Direct use of Moses mostly by § Suppliers of Model 3 and Model 4 soluCons § Large internal users o Government organizaCons and o Large mulCnaConal companies
§ Only these organizaCons o Have the resources to employ an expert team to
¨ Build well-‐performing MT engines ¨ Adapt Moses to their needs
§ See the full control of their MT desCny as a strategic goal

Open Source Machine TranslaCon Observed Moses AdopCon PaZerns
o LiZle or no direct Moses use among small and mid-‐size companies § Even diminishing use by early adopters due to increased availability of affordable and customizable commercial MT soluCons
§ Complete Model 2 soluCon currently not available o Unlike comparable OSS projects like MySQL, OpenOffice and Linux DistribuCons
o Moses More Similar to Linux Kernel and Android projects § No large insCtuConal backer (yet?) § FoundaCon model a way forward for industry use?
