TaMTAS: Terminology-Aware Machine Translation for Accessible Science. Large Corpus compilation, terminology extraction and data augmentation

Sergi Álvarez-Vidal, Antoni Oliver


Abstract
This paper presents the TaMTAS project (Terminology-Aware Machine Translation for Accessible Science), a research project coordinated by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC) to develop an open- source translation ecosystem for the Life Sciences. While we provide a general overview of the project’s organization into seven Work Packages (WPs) and its col- laborative consortium, this article focuses specifically on the work of WP2. Led by the UOC, this package is responsible for the parallel corpus compilation for five lan- guages (English, Spanish, Catalan, Esto- nian, and Irish), the enhancement of TBX- Tools for terminology extraction, and the development of synthetic data augmenta- tion strategies. These linguistic assets are essential to power the downstream Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) and Automatic Post-Editing (APE) modules, ensuring ter- minological consistency in highly special- ized scientific domains.
