Semantically Consistent Data Augmentation for Neural Machine Translation via Conditional Masked Language Model (2022.coling-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Neural network models have a large number of parameters to train, but data augmentation is relatively under-explored in natural language processing. |
| Approach: | They propose a bi-directional conditional Masked Language Model (CMLM) that can be conditional on both left and right contexts and the label. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves the best performance on four translation datasets and yields up to 1.90 BLEU points over the baseline. |

| Challenge: | Large Language Models (LLMs) are introducing a new phase in machine translation . despite advances in MT, there are still many challenges to overcome . |
| Approach: | They propose to highlight several new directions for MT that are influenced by Large Language Models like GPT-4 and ChatGPT. |
| Outcome: | The proposed models offer vast linguistic understandings and bring innovative methodologies, such as prompt-based techniques, that have the potential to further elevate MT. |
