MBR and QE Finetuning: Training-time Distillation of the Best and Most Expensive Decoding Methods
Mara Finkelstein, Subhajit Naskar, Mehdi Mirzazadeh +2
Recent research in decoding methods for Natural Language Generation (NLG) tasks has shown that MAP decoding is not optimal, because model probabilities do not always align with hum…
The Devil is in the Errors: Leveraging Large Language Models for Fine-grained Machine Translation Evaluation
Patrick Fernandes, Daniel Deutsch, Mara Finkelstein +7
Automatic evaluation of machine translation (MT) is a critical tool driving the rapid iterative development of MT systems. While considerable progress has been made on estimating a…
Epsilon Sampling Rocks: Investigating Sampling Strategies for Minimum Bayes Risk Decoding for Machine Translation
Markus Freitag, Behrooz Ghorbani, Patrick Fernandes
Recent advances in machine translation (MT) have shown that Minimum Bayes Risk (MBR) decoding can be a powerful alternative to beam search decoding, especially when combined with n…
PaLM 2 Technical Report
Rohan Anil, Andrew M. Dai, Orhan Firat +125
We introduce PaLM 2, a new state-of-the-art language model that has better multilingual and reasoning capabilities and is more compute-efficient than its predecessor PaLM. PaLM 2 i…
Scaling Laws for Multilingual Neural Machine Translation
Patrick Fernandes, Behrooz Ghorbani, Xavier Garcia +2
In this work, we provide a large-scale empirical study of the scaling properties of multilingual neural machine translation models. We examine how increases in the model size affec…
