• Abstract: Machine Translation (MT) system generally aims at automatic representation of source language into target language retaining the originality of context using various Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. Among various NLP methods, Statistical Machine Translation(SMT). SMT uses probabilistic and statistical techniques to analyze information and conversion. This paper canvasses about the development of bilingual SMT models for translating English to fifteen low-resource Indian Languages (ILs) and vice versa. At the outset, all 15 languages are briefed with a short description related to our experimental need. Further, a detailed analysis of Samanantar and OPUS dataset for model building, along with standard benchmark dataset (Flores-200) for fine-tuning and testing, is done as a part of our experiment. Different preprocessing approaches are proposed in this paper to handle the noise of the dataset. To create the system, MOSES open-source SMT toolkit is explored. Distance reordering is utilized with the aim to understand the rules of grammar and context-dependent adjustments through a phrase reordering categorization framework. In our experiment, the quality of the translation is evaluated using standard metrics such as BLEU, METEOR, and RIBES

  We propose a method to bypass the need for fully supervised data to train multimodal machine translation systems. Our method, called ZeroMMT, consists in adapting a strong text-only machine translation (MT) model by training it on a mixture of two objectives. To prove that our method generalizes to languages with no fully supervised training data available, we extend the CoMMuTE evaluation dataset to three new languages: Arabic, Russian and Chinese.

  Existing machine translation (NMT) studies mainly focus on developing dataset-specific models. We propose a versatile'' model, i.e., the Unified Model Learning for NMT (UMLNMT) that works with data from different tasks. OurNMT results in substantial improvements over dataset-specific models with significantly reduced model deployment costs.

We propose training the paraphraser as a multilingual NMT system, treating paraphrasing as a zero-shot translation task. Our method is simple and intuitive, and does not require human judgements for training.

• Explicit Reordering for Neural Machine Translation [50.70683739103066]
  In Transformer-based neural machine translation (NMT), the positional encoding mechanism helps the self-attention networks to learn the source representation with order dependency. We propose a novel reordering method to explicitly model this reordering information for the Transformer-based NMT. The empirical results on the WMT14 English-to-German, WAT ASPEC Japanese-to-English, and WMT17 Chinese-to-English translation tasks show the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
