| Challenge: | a new lyric-to-melody generation system bridges the gap between lyrics and melodies . previous generation systems lack paired data and lack of control on generated melodie. |
| Approach: | They develop a lyric-to-melody generation system with music template to bridge the gap between lyrics and melodies. |
| Outcome: | The proposed system bridges the gap between lyrics and melodies by using music template. |
Unsupervised Pivot Translation for Distant Languages (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Unsupervised neural machine translation (NMT) is a popular method for transferring information between languages. |
| Approach: | They propose an unsupervised pivot translation method which translates a language to a distant language through multiple hops. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves translation on 20 languages and 294 distant languages on 20 different languages and language pairs. |

| Challenge: | Error correction is widely used in automatic speech recognition (ASR) to post-process the generated sentence. |
| Approach: | They propose a fast correction model that takes multiple ASR candidates as input for better correction accuracy. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model can reduce the word error rate (WER) with multiple candidates by 3.2% and 2.6%. |
