Papers with MWE translation
Pre-tokenization of Multi-word Expressions in Cross-lingual Word Embeddings (2020.emnlp-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multi-Word Expressions (MWEs) are common in every language, but they are not translated by cross-lingual word embeddings. |
| Approach: | They propose a method for word translation of Multi-Word Expressions (MWEs) they compile lists of MWEs in each language and tokenize them as single tokens before training word embeddings. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can translate multi-word expressions to and from English in 10 languages. |
Multiword Expression aware Neural Machine Translation (2020.lrec-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Multiword Expressions (MWEs) are a pervasive phenomenon in all natural languages and challenge NLP applications because of their unpredictable morpho-syntactic and lexico--semantic behaviour. |
| Approach: | They propose to use linguistic resources to improve MWE translation and MWE generation by up to 5.09 BLEU points on MWE test sets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed annotation and data augmentation improve translation quality and increase performance by up to 5.09 BLEU points on MWE test sets. |
