Improving massively multilingual neural machine translation and zero-shot translation

B Zhang, P Williams, I Titov, R Sennrich - arXiv preprint arXiv:2004.11867, 2020 - arxiv.org
Massively multilingual models for neural machine translation (NMT) are theoretically
attractive, but often underperform bilingual models and deliver poor zero-shot translations. In …

Learning shared semantic space for speech-to-text translation

C Han, M Wang, H Ji, L Li - arXiv preprint arXiv:2105.03095, 2021 - arxiv.org
Having numerous potential applications and great impact, end-to-end speech translation
(ST) has long been treated as an independent task, failing to fully draw strength from the …

Mitigating Hallucinations and Off-target Machine Translation with Source-Contrastive and Language-Contrastive Decoding

R Sennrich, J Vamvas, A Mohammadshahi - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Hallucinations and off-target translation remain unsolved problems in machine translation,
especially for low-resource languages and massively multilingual models. In this paper, we …

Multilingual machine translation: Closing the gap between shared and language-specific encoder-decoders

C Escolano, MR Costa-jussà, JAR Fonollosa… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2020 - arxiv.org
State-of-the-art multilingual machine translation relies on a universal encoder-decoder,
which requires retraining the entire system to add new languages. In this paper, we propose …

HLT-MT: High-resource Language-specific Training for Multilingual Neural Machine Translation

J Yang, Y Yin, S Ma, D Zhang, Z Li, F Wei - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org

T-modules: Translation modules for zero-shot cross-modal machine translation

PA Duquenne, H Gong, B Sagot, H Schwenk - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
We present a new approach to perform zero-shot cross-modal transfer between speech and
text for translation tasks. Multilingual speech and text are encoded in a joint fixed-size …
