Minimum Bayes Risk Decoding for Error Span Detection in Reference-Free Automatic Machine Translation Evaluation
Boxuan Lyu, Haiyue Song, Hidetaka Kamigaito +5
Error Span Detection (ESD) extends automatic machine translation (MT) evaluation by localizing translation errors and labeling their severity. Current generative ESD methods typica…
Registering Source Tokens to Target Language Spaces in Multilingual Neural Machine Translation
Zhi Qu, Yiran Wang, Jiannan Mao +4
The multilingual neural machine translation (MNMT) aims for arbitrary translations across multiple languages. Although MNMT-specific models trained on parallel data offer low costs…
Languages Transferred Within the Encoder: On Representation Transfer in Zero-Shot Multilingual Translation
Zhi Qu, Chenchen Ding, Taro Watanabe
Understanding representation transfer in multilingual neural machine translation (MNMT) can reveal the reason for the zero-shot translation deficiency. In this work, we systematica…
Improving Language Transfer Capability of Decoder-only Architecture in Multilingual Neural Machine Translation
Zhi Qu, Yiran Wang, Chenchen Ding +3
Existing multilingual neural machine translation (MNMT) approaches mainly focus on improving models with the encoder-decoder architecture to translate multiple languages. However,…
