- Abstract summary: We investigate characteristic training phases of neural machine translation engines.
Longitudinal analyses of training phases suggest that the progression of translations is not always linear.
We identify the importance of the phenomena related to chronological progression, in order to map different processes at work in neural machine translation (NMT)

- Abstract: As part of a larger project on optimal learning conditions in neural machine
translation, we investigate characteristic training phases of translation
engines. All our experiments are carried out using OpenNMT-Py: the
pre-processing step is implemented using the Europarl training corpus and the
INTERSECT corpus is used for validation. Longitudinal analyses of training
phases suggest that the progression of translations is not always linear.
Following the results of textometric explorations, we identify the importance
of the phenomena related to chronological progression, in order to map
different processes at work in neural machine translation (NMT).

from BERT [4.353029347463806]
Adding linguistic information to neural machine translation (NMT) has mostly focused on using point estimates from pre-trained models.
We augment NMT by extracting dense fine-tuned vector-based linguistic information from BERT instead of using point estimates.

We propose a new loss function, the Anti-Focal loss, to better adapt model training to the structural dependencies of conditional text generation.
We show the efficacy of the proposed technique on a number of Machine Translation (MT) datasets, demonstrating that it leads to significant gains over cross-entropy.

We propose to understand learning dynamics of NMT by using Loss Change Allocation (LCA)citeplan 2019-loss-change-allocation.
As LCA requires calculating the gradient on an entire dataset for each update, we instead present an approximate to put it into practice in NMT scenario.
Our simulated experiment shows that such approximate calculation is efficient and is empirically proved to deliver consistent results.
