Does Masked Language Model Pre-training with Artificial Data Improve Low-resource Neural Machine Translation? (2023.findings-eacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Pre-training masked language models with artificial data has been proven beneficial for several natural language processing tasks, however, it has been less explored for neural machine translation (NMT). |
| Approach: | They pre-trained masked language models with random sequences and created artificial data mimicking token frequency information from the real world. |
| Outcome: | The results show that pre-training models with artificial data improves translation performance in low-resource situations. |
