On-the-Fly Fusion of Large Language Models and Machine Translation

14 Nov 2023  ·  Hieu Hoang, Huda Khayrallah, Marcin Junczys-Dowmunt ·

We propose the on-the-fly ensembling of a machine translation model with an LLM, prompted on the same task and input. We perform experiments on 4 language pairs (both directions) with varying data amounts. We find that a slightly weaker-at-translation LLM can improve translations of a NMT model, and ensembling with an LLM can produce better translations than ensembling two stronger MT models. We combine our method with various techniques from LLM prompting, such as in context learning and translation context.
