Code-Switching for Enhancing NMT with Pre-Specified Translation (N19-1)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods to constrain NMT use placeholder tags for lexicon words and hard constraints during decoding. |
| Approach: | They propose to use placeholder tags to replace lexicon words with target translations . they use a data augmentation method to make code-switched training data . |
| Outcome: | The proposed method improves translation quality without hurting unconstrained words. |
Towards Zero-Shot Multimodal Machine Translation (2025.findings-naacl)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Current multimodal machine translation systems rely on fully supervised data, which is costly to collect and prevents extension of MMT to language pairs with no such data. |
| Approach: | They propose a method to bypass the need for fully supervised data to train MMT systems . they adapt a strong text-only machine translation model to a visually conditioned language model and a divergence test set to evaluate how well models use images to disambiguate translations. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method can generalize to languages with no fully supervised training data. |
