Improving Multilingual Neural Machine Translation For Low-Resource Languages: French,English - Vietnamese

Thi-Vinh Ngo, Phuong-Thai Nguyen, Thanh-Le Ha +2

Prior works have demonstrated that a low-resource language pair can benefit from multilingual machine translation (MT) systems, which rely on many language pairs' joint training. T…
