Abstract: To address the shortcomings of neural machine translation in handling complex sentences and terminology, this paper proposes a translation quality improvement model based on the quantum-optimised osprey optimisation algorithm (QOOA). This model integrates quantum computing and metaheuristic algorithms, enhancing population diversity through qubit encoding, dynamically adjusting individual positions using a quantum rotation gate strategy to balance global exploration and local exploitation, and constructing a multi-objective fitness function that combines semantic similarity and syntactic complexity. Experiments on the WMT2018 English-Chinese dataset show that, compared to the baseline model, this method improves the BLEU score by 3.2 percentage points and reduces the TER by 12.7%, significantly reducing translation confusion. The results demonstrate that QOOA effectively improves translation quality, especially in long sentences and technical texts.

Keywords: quantum optimisation; osprey algorithm; machine translation; parameter optimisation; BLEU index; meta-heuristic algorithm.
