| Challenge: | We are generating millions of titles using machine translation, but they are prone to errors. |
| Approach: | They propose a Random Forest model which explores hand-crafted features and new features . they also propose SNs which embed metadata and generated title in the same space . |
| Outcome: | The proposed models outperform the existing models on in-house data. |

| Challenge: | Despite advances in machine translation quality estimation and evaluation, decoding is mostly oblivious to this. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a decoding framework that is quality-aware for neural machine translation . they compare various methods like N-best reranking and minimum Bayes risk decoding . |
| Outcome: | The proposed quality-aware decoding outperforms MAP-based decoding on four datasets and two model classes. |
