Machine Translation has made impressive progress in recent years offering close to human-level performance on many languages, but studies have primarily focused on high-resource languages with broad online presence and resources. With the…
Multilingual translation suffers from computational redundancy, especially when translating into multiple languages simultaneously. In addition, translation quality can suffer for low-resource languages. To address this, we introduce…
A Nonlinear Auto-Regressive with eXogenous inputs (NARX) model can be used to describe time-varying processes; where the output depends on both previous outputs and current/previous external input variables. One limitation of NARX models is…
An effective method to generate a large number of parallel sentences for training improved neural machine translation (NMT) systems is the use of back-translations of the target-side monolingual data. Recently, iterative back-translation…
