Certain pairs of languages suffer from lack of a parallel corpus which is large in size and diverse in domain. One of the ways this is overcome is via use of a pivot language. In this paper we use Hindi as a pivot language to translate…
Utilizing pivot language effectively can significantly improve low-resource machine translation. Usually, the two translation models, source-pivot and pivot-target, are trained individually and do not utilize the limited (source, target)…
