Papers with translation language modeling
Language-agnostic BERT Sentence Embedding (2022.acl-long)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for learning bilingual sentence embeddings are not well explored. |
| Approach: | They propose to combine best methods for learning multilingual sentence embeddings with pre-trained models to achieve 83.7% bi-text retrieval accuracy over 112 languages on Tatoeba. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves 83.7% bi-text retrieval accuracy over 112 languages on Tatoeba, above the 65.5% achieved by LASER. |

| Challenge: | Recent studies have shown that dual encoder models trained with the sentence-level translation ranking task are effective methods for cross-lingual sentence embedding. |
| Approach: | They propose a dual-alignment pre-training framework that incorporates both sentence-level and token-level alignment. |
| Outcome: | The proposed framework improves cross-lingual sentence embedding on three cross-linguistic benchmarks. |
Automatic Machine Translation Evaluation using Source Language Inputs and Cross-lingual Language Model (2020.acl-main)
Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Existing methods for machine translation evaluation use source sentences as pseudo references instead of word symbols. |
| Approach: | They propose an automatic machine translation evaluation method that uses source sentences as pseudo references instead of source sentences. |
| Outcome: | The proposed method achieves higher correlation with human judgments than baseline evaluation method that uses only hypothesis and reference sentences. |
