Although neural machine translation (NMT) has achieved impressive progress recently, it is usually trained on the clean parallel data set and hence cannot work well when the input sentence is the production of the automatic speech recognition (ASR) system due to the enormous errors in the source.

Refining Source Representations with Relation Networks for Neural Machine Translation

no code implementations12 Sep 2017 Wen Zhang, Jiawei Hu, Yang Feng, Qun Liu

Although neural machine translation (NMT) with the encoder-decoder framework has achieved great success in recent times, it still suffers from some drawbacks: RNNs tend to forget old information which is often useful and the encoder only operates through words without considering word relationship.

Information-Propogation-Enhanced Neural Machine Translation by Relation Model

no code implementations6 Sep 2017 Wen Zhang, Jiawei Hu, Yang Feng, Qun Liu

Even though sequence-to-sequence neural machine translation (NMT) model have achieved state-of-art performance in the recent fewer years, but it is widely concerned that the recurrent neural network (RNN) units are very hard to capture the long-distance state information, which means RNN can hardly find the feature with long term dependency as the sequence becomes longer.
