Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Transfer of Neural Machine Translation with Multilingual Pretrained Encoders (2021.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing work on improving cross-lingual transferability of NMT model is under-explored. |
| Approach: | They propose a model that leverages a multilingual pretrained encoder to improve cross-lingual transferability. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms mBART and m2m-100 on a zero-shot cross-lingual transfer task. |
Towards Making the Most of Cross-Lingual Transfer for Zero-Shot Neural Machine Translation (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing unsupervised neural machine translation systems can degrade when labeled data is limited. |
| Approach: | They propose a multilingual pretraining and multilingual fine-tuning for facilitating cross-lingual transfer in zero-shot translation using a parallel dataset. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model outperforms state-of-the-art models on many-to-English translation by over 7.2 and 5.0 BLEU. |

| Challenge: | Empirical evaluations on state-of-the-art MLLMs reveal a significant performance gap . ML models lack the fine-grained cross-modal reasoning required to bridge visual discontinuities. |
| Approach: | They propose a benchmark that renders fragmented documents directly from Markdown to facilitate evaluation of VRDU tasks. |
| Outcome: | The proposed benchmark renders fragmented documents directly from Markdown. |
