Last Translation Benchmark

Vilém Zouhar, Niyati Bafna, Mukund Choudhary +263

For scientific progress, we need benchmarks that test the limits of state-of-the-art models, and evaluation methods that inform us about failure cases. As models get stronger, stan…

Are Character-level Translations Worth the Wait? Comparing ByT5 and mT5 for Machine Translation

Lukas Edman, Gabriele Sarti, Antonio Toral +2

Pretrained character-level and byte-level language models have been shown to be competitive with popular subword models across a range of Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks. H…

Subword-Delimited Downsampling for Better Character-Level Translation

Lukas Edman, Antonio Toral, Gertjan van Noord

Subword-level models have been the dominant paradigm in NLP. However, character-level models have the benefit of seeing each character individually, providing the model with more d…

Patching Leaks in the Charformer for Efficient Character-Level Generation

Lukas Edman, Antonio Toral, Gertjan van Noord

Character-based representations have important advantages over subword-based ones for morphologically rich languages. They come with increased robustness to noisy input and do not…

The Importance of Context in Very Low Resource Language Modeling

Lukas Edman, Antonio Toral, Gertjan van Noord

This paper investigates very low resource language model pretraining, when less than 100 thousand sentences are available. We find that, in very low resource scenarios, statistical…

Unsupervised Translation of German--Lower Sorbian: Exploring Training and Novel Transfer Methods on a Low-Resource Language

Lukas Edman, Ahmet Üstün, Antonio Toral +1

This paper describes the methods behind the systems submitted by the University of Groningen for the WMT 2021 Unsupervised Machine Translation task for German--Lower Sorbian (DE--D…
