Latent Variable Model for Multi-modal Translation (P19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Libovick and Helcl (2017) show improvements due to imposing a constraint on the KL term to promote models with non-negligible mutual information between inputs and latent variable and training on additional target-language image descriptions. |
| Approach: | They propose to model interaction between visual and textual features for multi-modal neural machine translation (MMT) using a latent variable model. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model improves over baselines including a multi-task learning approach and a conditional variational auto-encoder approach. |
