Searching for Needles in a Haystack: On the Role of Incidental Bilingualism in PaLM's Translation Capability
Eleftheria Briakou, Colin Cherry, George Foster
Large, multilingual language models exhibit surprisingly good zero- or few-shot machine translation capabilities, despite having never seen the intentionally-included translation e…
Document Flattening: Beyond Concatenating Context for Document-Level Neural Machine Translation
Minghao Wu, George Foster, Lizhen Qu +1
Existing work in document-level neural machine translation commonly concatenates several consecutive sentences as a pseudo-document, and then learns inter-sentential dependencies.…
The unreasonable effectiveness of few-shot learning for machine translation
Xavier Garcia, Yamini Bansal, Colin Cherry +5
We demonstrate the potential of few-shot translation systems, trained with unpaired language data, for both high and low-resource language pairs. We show that with only 5 examples…
