Fast Interleaved Bidirectional Sequence Generation
Biao Zhang, Ivan Titov, Rico Sennrich
Independence assumptions during sequence generation can speed up inference, but parallel generation of highly inter-dependent tokens comes at a cost in quality. Instead of assuming…
Adaptive Feature Selection for End-to-End Speech Translation
Biao Zhang, Ivan Titov, Barry Haddow +1
Information in speech signals is not evenly distributed, making it an additional challenge for end-to-end (E2E) speech translation (ST) to learn to focus on informative features. I…
On Sparsifying Encoder Outputs in Sequence-to-Sequence Models
Biao Zhang, Ivan Titov, Rico Sennrich
Sequence-to-sequence models usually transfer all encoder outputs to the decoder for generation. In this work, by contrast, we hypothesize that these encoder outputs can be compress…
A Study in Improving BLEU Reference Coverage with Diverse Automatic Paraphrasing
Rachel Bawden, Biao Zhang, Lisa Yankovskaya +2
We investigate a long-perceived shortcoming in the typical use of BLEU: its reliance on a single reference. Using modern neural paraphrasing techniques, we study whether automatica…
