Simple and Effective Noisy Channel Modeling for Neural Machine Translation (D19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Previous work on noisy channel modeling relied on latent variable models that incrementally process the source and target sentence. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a standard sequence to sequence model which utilizes the entire source and target sentences to estimate posterior probability of a target sequence y given a source sequence x. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms direct models on German-English translations by up to 3.2 BLEU on four language pairs. |
