SURF: Semantic-level Unsupervised Reward Function for Machine Translation (2022.naacl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Reinforcement Learning (RL) is dependent on the reward formulation due to the intrinsic difficulty of the task in the high-dimensional discrete action space and the sparseness of the standard reward functions. |
| Approach: | They propose a maximally dense semantic-level unsupervised reward function which mimics human evaluation by considering both sentence fluency and semantic similarity. |
| Outcome: | The proposed reward outperforms the standard sparse reward by 2% on average for in- and out-of-domain settings. |
