Popis: With the continuous advancement of deep learning technologies, neural machine translation (NMT) has emerged as a powerful tool for enhancing communication efficiency among the members of cross-language collaborative teams. Among the various available approaches, leveraging syntactic dependency relations to achieve enhanced translation performance has become a pivotal research direction. However, current studies often lack in-depth considerations of non-Euclidean spaces when exploring interword correlations and fail to effectively address the model complexity arising from dependency relation encoding. To address these issues, we propose a novel approach based on split graph convolutional self-attention encoding (SGSE), aiming to more comprehensively utilize syntactic dependency relationships while reducing model complexity. Specifically, we initially extract syntactic dependency relations from the source language and construct a syntax dependency graph in a non-Euclidean space. Subsequently, we devise split self-attention networks and syntactic semantic self-attention networks, integrating them into a unified model. Through experiments conducted on multiple standard datasets as well as datasets encompassing scenarios related to team collaboration and enterprise management, the proposed method significantly enhances the translation performance of the utilized model while effectively mitigating model complexity. This approach has the potential to effectively enhance communication among cross-language team members, thereby ameliorating collaborative efficiency.
