| Challenge: | We show a 5.8 point increase in BLEU on heavily code-mixed sentences . code-mixing is becoming more commonplace in several bilingual communities . |
| Approach: | They propose a method to convert existing parallel data sources into code-mixed parallel data. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method shows a 5.8 point increase in BLEU on heavily code-mixed sentences on a Hindi-English code-mixed translation task. |

| Challenge: | Prior work has addressed the lack of gold standard code-mixed to pure language parallel data with data augmentation techniques. |
| Approach: | They propose a back-translation-based training scheme for code-mixed translation which eliminates dependence on external resources. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model beats previous work by up to +3.8 BLEU on code-mixed tasks. |
