• Abstract: Neural Machine Translation (NMT) leverages one or more trained neural networks for the translation of phrases. Sutskever introduced a sequence to sequence based encoder-decoder model which became the standard for NMT based systems. Attention mechanisms were later introduced to address the issues with the translation of long sentences and improving overall accuracy. In this paper, we propose a singular model for Neural Machine Translation based on encoder-decoder models. Most translation models are trained as one model for one translation. We introduce a neutral/universal model representation that can be used to predict more than one language depending on the source and a provided target. Secondly, we introduce an attention model by adding an overall learning vector to the multiplicative model. With these two changes, by using the novel universal model the number of models needed for multiple language translation applications are reduced.

• Efficient Machine Translation with a BiLSTM-Attention Approach [0.0]
  This paper proposes a novel Seq2Seq model aimed at improving translation quality while reducing the storage space required by the model. The model employs a Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory network (Bi-LSTM) as the encoder to capture the context information of the input sequence. Compared to the current mainstream Transformer model, our model achieves superior performance on the WMT14 machine translation dataset.

Previous work on interpretability in NMT has focused solely on source sentence tokens attributions. We propose an interpretability method that tracks complete input token attributions.

  Unsupervised cross-lingual pretraining has achieved strong results in neural machine translation (NMT) Most approaches adapt masked-language modeling (MLM) to sequence-to-sequence architectures, by masking parts of the input and reconstructing them in the decoder. We compare masking with alternative objectives that produce inputs resembling real (full) sentences, by reordering and replacing words based on their context.

  Recently, universal neural machine translation (NMT) with shared encoder-decoder gained good performance on zero-shot translation. Unlike universal NMT, jointly trained language-specific encoders-decoders aim to achieve universal representation across non-shared modules. We study zero-shot translation using language-specific encoders-decoders.

  This work presents our ongoing research of unsupervised pretraining in neural machine translation (NMT) In our method, we initialize the weights of the encoder and decoder with two language models that are trained with monolingual data. We show that initializing the bidirectional NMT encoder with a left-to-right language model and forcing the model to remember the original left-to-right language modeling task limits the learning capacity of the encoder.
