• Title: An Effective Method using Phrase Mechanism in Neural Machine Translation
• Authors: Phuong Minh Nguyen, Le Minh Nguyen
• Abstract summary: We report an effective method using a phrase mechanism, PhraseTransformer, to improve the strong baseline model Transformer in constructing a Neural Machine Translation (NMT) system for parallel corpora Vietnamese-Chinese. Our experiments on the MT dataset of the VLSP 2022 competition achieved the BLEU score of 35.3 on Vietnamese to Chinese and 33.2 BLEU scores on Chinese to Vietnamese data.

• Abstract: Machine Translation is one of the essential tasks in Natural Language Processing (NLP), which has massive applications in real life as well as contributing to other tasks in the NLP research community. Recently, Transformer -based methods have attracted numerous researchers in this domain and achieved state-of-the-art results in most of the pair languages. In this paper, we report an effective method using a phrase mechanism, PhraseTransformer, to improve the strong baseline model Transformer in constructing a Neural Machine Translation (NMT) system for parallel corpora Vietnamese-Chinese. Our experiments on the MT dataset of the VLSP 2022 competition achieved the BLEU score of 35.3 on Vietnamese to Chinese and 33.2 BLEU scores on Chinese to Vietnamese data.

• Hindi to English: Transformer-Based Neural Machine Translation [0.0]
  We have developed a Machine Translation (NMT) system by training the Transformer model to translate texts from Indian Language Hindi to English. We implemented back-translation to augment the training data and for creating the vocabulary. This led us to achieve a state-of-the-art BLEU score of 24.53 on the test set of IIT Bombay English-Hindi Corpus.

  Machine translation is an effective approach to convert text to a different language without any human involvement. In this paper, we have applied NMT on two of the most morphological rich Indian languages, i.e. English-Tamil and English-Malayalam. We proposed a novel NMT model using Multihead self-attention along with pre-trained Byte-Pair-Encoded (BPE) and MultiBPE embeddings to develop an efficient translation system.
