Thesis proposal: Are We Losing Textual Diversity to Natural Language Processing? (2026.eacl-srw)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Using Neural Machine Translation, we examine whether the algorithms used in NMT have inherent inductive biases that are beneficial for most types of inputs but might harm the processing of untypical texts. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a set of measures to quantify text diversity based on its statistical properties to determine whether NMT systems struggle with maintaining the diversity of such texts. |
| Outcome: | The proposed approaches maintain the diversity and complexity of language and allow for better global planning of the output generation. |
Rethinking Document-level Neural Machine Translation (2022.findings-acl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Neural machine translation models are weak enough for document-level translation . current models only translate sentences individually, resulting in poor document coherence . |
| Approach: | They propose to use the original Transformer model to test document-level neural machine translation . they find that the original transformer models can achieve strong results for document translation if trained properly . |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms sentence-level models on nine datasets and two sentence- level datasets across six languages. |
