Domain Mismatch Doesn’t Always Prevent Cross-lingual Transfer Learning

no code implementations LREC 2022 Daniel Edmiston, Phillip Keung, Noah A. Smith

Cross-lingual transfer learning without labeled target language data or parallel text has been surprisingly effective in zero-shot cross-lingual classification, question answering, unsupervised machine translation, etc.

NarrowBERT: Accelerating Masked Language Model Pretraining and Inference

1 code implementation11 Jan 2023 Haoxin Li, Phillip Keung, Daniel Cheng, Jungo Kasai, Noah A. Smith

We propose NarrowBERT, a modified transformer encoder that increases the throughput for masked language model pretraining by more than $2\times$.

Unsupervised Bitext Mining and Translation via Self-trained Contextual Embeddings

no code implementations15 Oct 2020 Phillip Keung, Julian Salazar, Yichao Lu, Noah A. Smith

We then improve an XLM-based unsupervised neural MT system pre-trained on Wikipedia by supplementing it with pseudo-parallel text mined from the same corpus, boosting unsupervised translation performance by up to 3. 5 BLEU on the WMT'14 French-English and WMT'16 German-English tasks and outperforming the previous state-of-the-art.

The Multilingual Amazon Reviews Corpus

1 code implementation EMNLP 2020 Phillip Keung, Yichao Lu, György Szarvas, Noah A. Smith

We present the Multilingual Amazon Reviews Corpus (MARC), a large-scale collection of Amazon reviews for multilingual text classification.

Improving Non-autoregressive Neural Machine Translation with Monolingual Data

no code implementations ACL 2020 Jiawei Zhou, Phillip Keung

Non-autoregressive (NAR) neural machine translation is usually done via knowledge distillation from an autoregressive (AR) model.

Don't Use English Dev: On the Zero-Shot Cross-Lingual Evaluation of Contextual Embeddings

no code implementations EMNLP 2020 Phillip Keung, Yichao Lu, Julian Salazar, Vikas Bhardwaj

Multilingual contextual embeddings have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in zero-shot cross-lingual transfer learning, where multilingual BERT is fine-tuned on one source language and evaluated on a different target language.

Attentional Speech Recognition Models Misbehave on Out-of-domain Utterances

1 code implementation12 Feb 2020 Phillip Keung, Wei Niu, Yichao Lu, Julian Salazar, Vikas Bhardwaj

We discuss the problem of echographic transcription in autoregressive sequence-to-sequence attentional architectures for automatic speech recognition, where a model produces very long sequences of repetitive outputs when presented with out-of-domain utterances.

A neural interlingua for multilingual machine translation

no code implementations WS 2018 Yichao Lu, Phillip Keung, Faisal Ladhak, Vikas Bhardwaj, Shaonan Zhang, Jason Sun

We incorporate an explicit neural interlingua into a multilingual encoder-decoder neural machine translation (NMT) architecture.
