Lingua Custodia's participation at the WMT 2021 Machine Translation using Terminologies shared task
Melissa Ailem, Jinghsu Liu, Raheel Qader
This paper describes Lingua Custodia's submission to the WMT21 shared task on machine translation using terminologies. We consider three directions, namely English to French, Russi…
Encouraging Neural Machine Translation to Satisfy Terminology Constraints
Melissa Ailem, Jinghsu Liu, Raheel Qader
We present a new approach to encourage neural machine translation to satisfy lexical constraints. Our method acts at the training step and thereby avoiding the introduction of any…
Topic Augmented Generator for Abstractive Summarization
Melissa Ailem, Bowen Zhang, Fei Sha
Steady progress has been made in abstractive summarization with attention-based sequence-to-sequence learning models. In this paper, we propose a new decoder where the output summa…
Amortized Inference of Variational Bounds for Learning Noisy-OR
Yiming Yan, Melissa Ailem, Fei Sha
Classical approaches for approximate inference depend on cleverly designed variational distributions and bounds. Modern approaches employ amortized variational inference, which use…
