Marco - Alibaba's commercial translation model, supporting 15 languages.

What is Marco?

Marco is Alibaba International's latest large-scale commercial translation model, supporting 15 major global languages, including Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and French. It surpasses competitors such as Google Translate, DeepL, and GPT-4 in the BLEU benchmark, providing context-based accurate translation and avoiding ambiguity caused by literal meaning. Marco utilizes multilingual data filtering technology and parameter expansion methods to ensure translation quality and reduce service costs. The Marco translation model is currently commercially available on a large scale, providing efficient and accurate translation services to users worldwide and meeting diverse translation needs. Marco is available on Alibaba International's AI website, Aidge, and is open to users globally.

Marco's technical principles

• Large language model drivenBased on deep learning technology, large-scale language models trained with a large amount of multilingual text data can deeply understand language structure and semantics, providing more natural and accurate translations.
• Multilingual data filteringBased on advanced data screening technology, we ensure that high-quality data is used for model training, and use multilingual mixed corpora for identification and multi-dimensional data quality assessment to obtain accurate and large-scale multilingual data.
• Hybrid Experts and Parameter ExpansionBy combining a multilingual expert system, each expert is responsible for a specific language pair or language feature, thereby improving the translation quality in a specific domain. Based on the parameter expansion method, the overall performance of the model is optimized.
• Model quantization and accelerationModel quantization techniques reduce the computational requirements of the model and increase the speed of the translation process. Based on acceleration techniques, such as parallel computing and distributed training, the model's response speed and processing capabilities can be further improved.
