Towards Computationally Verifiable Semantic Grounding for Language Models

no code implementations16 Nov 2022 Chris Alberti, Kuzman Ganchev, Michael Collins, Sebastian Gehrmann, Ciprian Chelba

Compared to a baseline that generates text using greedy search, we demonstrate two techniques that improve the fluency and semantic accuracy of the generated text: The first technique samples multiple candidate text sequences from which the semantic parser chooses.

Data Troubles in Sentence Level Confidence Estimation for Machine Translation

no code implementations26 Oct 2020 Ciprian Chelba, Junpei Zhou, Yuezhang, Li, Hideto Kazawa, Jeff Klingner, Mengmeng Niu

For an English-Spanish translation model operating at $SACC = 0. 89$ according to a non-expert annotator pool we can derive a confidence estimate that labels 0. 5-0. 6 of the $good$ translations in an "in-domain" test set with 0. 95 Precision.

Practical Perspectives on Quality Estimation for Machine Translation

no code implementations2 May 2020 Junpei Zhou, Ciprian Chelba, Yuezhang, Li

Sentence level quality estimation (QE) for machine translation (MT) attempts to predict the translation edit rate (TER) cost of post-editing work required to correct MT output.

Faster Transformer Decoding: N-gram Masked Self-Attention

no code implementations14 Jan 2020 Ciprian Chelba, Mia Chen, Ankur Bapna, Noam Shazeer

Motivated by the fact that most of the information relevant to the prediction of target tokens is drawn from the source sentence $S=s_1, \ldots, s_S$, we propose truncating the target-side window used for computing self-attention by making an $N$-gram assumption.

Denoising Neural Machine Translation Training with Trusted Data and Online Data Selection

no code implementations WS 2018 Wei Wang, Taro Watanabe, Macduff Hughes, Tetsuji Nakagawa, Ciprian Chelba

Measuring domain relevance of data and identifying or selecting well-fit domain data for machine translation (MT) is a well-studied topic, but denoising is not yet.

N-gram Language Modeling using Recurrent Neural Network Estimation

no code implementations31 Mar 2017 Ciprian Chelba, Mohammad Norouzi, Samy Bengio

Experiments on a small corpus (UPenn Treebank, one million words of training data and 10k vocabulary) have found the LSTM cell with dropout to be the best model for encoding the $n$-gram state when compared with feed-forward and vanilla RNN models.

Multinomial Loss on Held-out Data for the Sparse Non-negative Matrix Language Model

no code implementations5 Nov 2015 Ciprian Chelba, Fernando Pereira

In experiments on the one billion words language modeling benchmark, we are able to slightly improve on our previous results which use a different loss function, and employ leave-one-out training on a subset of the main training set.
