• Abstract: We release our synthetic parallel paraphrase corpus across 17 languages: Arabic, Catalan, Czech, German, English, Spanish, Estonian, French, Hindi, Indonesian, Italian, Dutch, Romanian, Russian, Swedish, Vietnamese, and Chinese. Our method relies only on monolingual data and a neural machine translation system to generate paraphrases, hence simple to apply. We generate multiple translation samples using beam search and choose the most lexically diverse pair according to their sentence BLEU. We compare our generated corpus with the \texttt{ParaBank2}. According to our evaluation, our synthetic paraphrase pairs are semantically similar and lexically diverse.

  neural machine translation systems learn to map sentences of different languages into a common representation space. In this work, we test this hypothesis by zero-shot translating from unseen languages. We demonstrate that this setup enables zero-shot translation from entirely unseen languages.

  We propose a novel method to align multi-lingual embeddings based on the similarity of sentences measured by a pre-trained mono-lingual embedding model. Given translation sentence pairs, we train a multi-lingual model in a way that the similarity between cross-lingual embeddings follows the similarity of sentences measured at the mono-lingual teacher model.

  Unsupervised neural machine translation (UNMT) has recently achieved remarkable results for several language pairs. UNMT can only translate between a single language pair and cannot produce translation results for multiple language pairs at the same time. In this paper, we empirically introduce a simple method to translate between thirteen languages using a single encoder and a single decoder.
