Improving Simultaneous Translation by Incorporating Pseudo-References with Fewer Reorderings

Junkun Chen, Renjie Zheng, Atsuhito Kita +2

Simultaneous translation is vastly different from full-sentence translation, in the sense that it starts translation before the source sentence ends, with only a few words delay. H…
