Overview
What this challenge is about.
Fine-tune an MT model on an autonomous-vehicle safety corpus, preserving terms and cross-references, then earn a verifiable certificate.
The scenario
The Stuttgart autonomous-vehicles company (around 250 staff, software stack for Tier-1 suppliers) needs consistent terminology across its English-speaking US engineering team and its German safety documentation.
The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Adapt an open MT system to automotive-safety German-English with measurable terminology accuracy beyond generic MT.
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Build a parallel corpus from real bilingual documents
- Fine-tune neural MT for domain terminology
- Evaluate MT with both automated and human-judged metrics
- Preserve structured tokens (cross-refs, abbreviations) through MT
