In this paper, we propose Neural Phrase-to-Phrase Machine Translation (NP$^2$MT). Our model uses a phrase attention mechanism to discover relevant input (source) segments that are used by a decoder to generate output (target) phrases. We…
Most pronouns are referring expressions, computers need to resolve what do the pronouns refer to, and there are divergences on pronoun usage across languages. Thus, dealing with these divergences and translating pronouns is a challenge in…
