Japanese Predicate Conjugation for Neural Machine Translation (N18-4)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Neural machine translation (NMT) has a drawback in that it can generate only high-frequency words owing to the computational costs of the softmax function in the output layer. |
| Approach: | They propose two methods to generate low-frequency words and deal with unknown words using Japanese predicate conjugation information without discarding linguistic information. |
| Outcome: | The proposed methods can generate low-frequency words and deal with unknown words. |
Neural Machine Translation Incorporating Named Entity (C18-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Conventional NMT models have difficulty translating words with multiple meanings because of the high ambiguity. |
| Approach: | They propose a neural machine translation model that incorporates named entity (NE) tags of source-language sentences to reduce the difficulty in translating multiple meanings. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves 3.11 point improvement in bilingual evaluation understudy (BLEU) on English-to-Japanese translation task with the ASPEC, and English- to-Bulgarian and English to-Romanian translation tasks with the Europarl corpus. |
