• Abstract: We present the CUNI-Bergamot submission for the WMT22 General translation task. We compete in English$\rightarrow$Czech direction. Our submission further explores block backtranslation techniques. Compared to the previous work, we measure performance in terms of COMET score and named entities translation accuracy. We evaluate performance of MBR decoding compared to traditional mixed backtranslation training and we show a possible synergy when using both of the techniques simultaneously. The results show that both approaches are effective means of improving translation quality and they yield even better results when combined.

  We identify the similarity between two words in English by casting the task as machine translation performance prediction (MTPP) We use referential translation machines (RTMs) which allows a common representation of training and test sets. RTMs can achieve the top results in Graded Word Similarity in Context (GWSC) task.

  Retrieval-augmented Neural Machine Translation models have been successful in many translation scenarios. We propose a new retrieval-augmented NMT to model contrastively retrieved translation memories that are holistically similar to the source sentence. In training phase, a Multi-TM contrastive learning objective is introduced to learn salient feature of each TM with respect to target sentence.

  We present our submission to the sentence-level MQM benchmark at Quality Estimation Shared Task, named UniTE. Specifically, our systems employ the framework of UniTE, which combined three types of input formats during training with a pre-trained language model. Results show that our models reach 1st overall ranking in the Multilingual and English-Russian settings, and 2nd overall ranking in English-German and Chinese-English settings.

  We create a benchmark dataset, emphHJQE, where the expert translators directly annotate poorly translated words. We propose two tag correcting strategies, namely tag refinement strategy and tree-based annotation strategy, to make the TER-based artificial QE corpus closer to emphHJQE. The results show our proposed dataset is more consistent with human judgement and also confirm the effectiveness of the proposed tag correcting strategies.

  We describe an unsupervised method to create pseudo-parallel corpora for machine translation (MT) from unaligned text. We use multilingual BERT to create source and target sentence embeddings for nearest-neighbor search and adapt the model via self-training. We validate our technique by extracting parallel sentence pairs on the BUCC 2017 bitext mining task and observe up to a 24.5 point increase (absolute) in F1 scores over previous unsupervised methods.
