我们为神经机翻译（NMT）提供了一个开源工具包。新工具包主要基于拱形变压器（Vaswani等，2017）以及下面详述的许多其他改进，以便创建一个独立的，易于使用，一致和全面的各个领域的机器翻译任务框架。它是为了支持双语和多语言翻译任务的工具，从构建各个语料库的模型开始推断新的预测或将模型打包给提供功能的JIT格式。

机器翻译系统（MTS）是通过将文本或语音从一种语言转换为另一种语言的有效工具。在像印度这样的大型多语言环境中，对有效的翻译系统的需求变得显而易见，英语和一套印度语言（ILS）正式使用。与英语相反，由于语料库的不可用，IL仍然被视为低资源语言。为了解决不对称性质，多语言神经机器翻译（MNMT）系统会发展为在这个方向上的理想方法。在本文中，我们提出了一个MNMT系统，以解决与低资源语言翻译有关的问题。我们的模型包括两个MNMT系统，即用于英语印度（一对多），另一个用于指示英语（多一对多），其中包含15个语言对（30个翻译说明）的共享编码器码头。由于大多数IL对具有很少的平行语料库，因此不足以训练任何机器翻译模型。我们探索各种增强策略，以通过建议的模型提高整体翻译质量。最先进的变压器体系结构用于实现所提出的模型。大量数据的试验揭示了其优越性比常规模型的优势。此外，本文解决了语言关系的使用（在方言，脚本等方面），尤其是关于同一家族的高资源语言在提高低资源语言表现方面的作用。此外，实验结果还表明了ILS的倒退和域适应性的优势，以提高源和目标语言的翻译质量。使用所有这些关键方法，我们提出的模型在评估指标方面比基线模型更有效，即一组ILS的BLEU（双语评估研究）得分。

随着自然语言处理领域的最新发展，在使用不同架构的神经机翻译中的使用情况上升了。变压器架构用于实现最先进的准确性，但它们是训练的非常昂贵的昂贵。每个人都不能拥有由高端GPU和其他资源组成的等待。我们在低计算资源上培训我们的模型，并调查结果。正如预期的那样，变形金刚表现出其他架构，但结果有一些令人惊讶的结果。由更多编码器和解码器组成的变形金刚需要花更多的时间来训练，但有更少的BLEU分数。LSTM在实验中表现良好，比较少花时间训练而不是变压器，适合在具有时间限制的情况下使用。

The machine translation mechanism translates texts automatically between different natural languages, and Neural Machine Translation (NMT) has gained attention for its rational context analysis and fluent translation accuracy. However, processing low-resource languages that lack relevant training attributes like supervised data is a current challenge for Natural Language Processing (NLP). We incorporated a technique known Active Learning with the NMT toolkit Joey NMT to reach sufficient accuracy and robust predictions of low-resource language translation. With active learning, a semi-supervised machine learning strategy, the training algorithm determines which unlabeled data would be the most beneficial for obtaining labels using selected query techniques. We implemented two model-driven acquisition functions for selecting the samples to be validated. This work uses transformer-based NMT systems; baseline model (BM), fully trained model (FTM) , active learning least confidence based model (ALLCM), and active learning margin sampling based model (ALMSM) when translating English to Hindi. The Bilingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) metric has been used to evaluate system results. The BLEU scores of BM, FTM, ALLCM and ALMSM systems are 16.26, 22.56 , 24.54, and 24.20, respectively. The findings in this paper demonstrate that active learning techniques helps the model to converge early and improve the overall quality of the translation system.

多语种NMT已成为MT在生产中部署的有吸引力的解决方案。但是要匹配双语质量，它符合较大且较慢的型号。在这项工作中，我们考虑了几种方法在推理时更快地使多语言NMT变得更快而不会降低其质量。我们在两种20语言多平行设置中尝试几个“光解码器”架构：在TED会谈中小规模和帕拉克曲线上的大规模。我们的实验表明，将具有词汇过滤的浅解码器组合在于，在翻译质量下没有损失的速度超过两倍。我们用Bleu和Chrf（380语言对），鲁棒性评估和人类评估验证了我们的研究结果。

The word alignment task, despite its prominence in the era of statistical machine translation (SMT), is niche and under-explored today. In this two-part tutorial, we argue for the continued relevance for word alignment. The first part provides a historical background to word alignment as a core component of the traditional SMT pipeline. We zero-in on GIZA++, an unsupervised, statistical word aligner with surprising longevity. Jumping forward to the era of neural machine translation (NMT), we show how insights from word alignment inspired the attention mechanism fundamental to present-day NMT. The second part shifts to a survey approach. We cover neural word aligners, showing the slow but steady progress towards surpassing GIZA++ performance. Finally, we cover the present-day applications of word alignment, from cross-lingual annotation projection, to improving translation.

机器翻译历史上的重要突破之一是变压器模型的发展。不仅对于各种翻译任务，而且对于大多数其他NLP任务都是革命性的。在本文中，我们针对一个基于变压器的系统，该系统能够将德语用源句子转换为其英语的对应目标句子。我们对WMT'13数据集的新闻评论德语 - 英语并行句子进行实验。此外，我们研究了来自IWSLT'16数据集的培训中包含其他通用域数据以改善变压器模型性能的效果。我们发现，在培训中包括IWSLT'16数据集，有助于在WMT'13数据集的测试集中获得2个BLEU得分点。引入定性分析以分析通用域数据的使用如何有助于提高产生的翻译句子的质量。

We propose a simple solution to use a single Neural Machine Translation (NMT) model to translate between multiple languages. Our solution requires no changes to the model architecture from a standard NMT system but instead introduces an artificial token at the beginning of the input sentence to specify the required target language. The rest of the model, which includes an encoder, decoder and attention module, remains unchanged and is shared across all languages. Using a shared wordpiece vocabulary, our approach enables Multilingual NMT using a single model without any increase in parameters, which is significantly simpler than previous proposals for Multilingual NMT. On the WMT'14 benchmarks, a single multilingual model achieves comparable performance for English→French and surpasses state-of-the-art results for English→German. Similarly, a single multilingual model surpasses state-of-the-art results for French→English and German→English on WMT'14 and WMT'15 benchmarks, respectively. On production corpora, multilingual models of up to twelve language pairs allow for better translation of many individual pairs. In addition to improving the translation quality of language pairs that the model was trained with, our models can also learn to perform implicit bridging between language pairs never seen explicitly during training, showing that transfer learning and zero-shot translation is possible for neural translation. Finally, we show analyses that hints at a universal interlingua representation in our models and show some interesting examples when mixing languages.

我用Hunglish2语料库训练神经电脑翻译任务的模型。这项工作的主要贡献在培训NMT模型期间评估不同的数据增强方法。我提出了5种不同的增强方法，这些方法是结构感知的，这意味着而不是随机选择用于消隐或替换的单词，句子的依赖树用作增强的基础。我首先关于神经网络的详细文献综述，顺序建模，神经机翻译，依赖解析和数据增强。经过详细的探索性数据分析和Hunglish2语料库的预处理之后，我使用所提出的数据增强技术进行实验。匈牙利语的最佳型号达到了33.9的BLEU得分，而英国匈牙利最好的模型达到了28.6的BLEU得分。

最近在单语数据和机器翻译（MT）进行微调的预培训方面取得了成功，但尚不清楚如何最好地利用预先训练的模型来完成给定的MT任务。本文在微调MT上的预训练模型时研究了冻结参数的好处和缺点。我们专注于1）微调仅在英语单语言数据的BART上训练的模型。2）微调一个模型，该模型对25种语言的单语言数据进行了培训，Mbart。对于Bart，我们通过冻结大多数模型参数并添加额外的位置嵌入来获得最佳性能。对于MBART，我们将大多数语言对的天真微调的性能与编码器以及大多数解码器搭配。编码器的注意参数对于微调最重要。当将自己限制为越南人对英语的室外训练套装时，我们看到了基线的最大进步。

We describe an open-source toolkit for neural machine translation (NMT). The toolkit prioritizes efficiency, modularity, and extensibility with the goal of supporting NMT research into model architectures, feature representations, and source modalities, while maintaining competitive performance and reasonable training requirements. The toolkit consists of modeling and translation support, as well as detailed pedagogical documentation about the underlying techniques.

This paper demonstrates that multilingual denoising pre-training produces significant performance gains across a wide variety of machine translation (MT) tasks. We present mBART -a sequence-to-sequence denoising auto-encoder pre-trained on large-scale monolingual corpora in many languages using the BART objective . mBART is the first method for pre-training a complete sequence-to-sequence model by denoising full texts in multiple languages, while previous approaches have focused only on the encoder, decoder, or reconstructing parts of the text. Pre-training a complete model allows it to be directly fine tuned for supervised (both sentence-level and document-level) and unsupervised machine translation, with no task-specific modifications. We demonstrate that adding mBART initialization produces performance gains in all but the highest-resource settings, including up to 12 BLEU points for low resource MT and over 5 BLEU points for many document-level and unsupervised models. We also show it also enables new types of transfer to language pairs with no bi-text or that were not in the pre-training corpus, and present extensive analysis of which factors contribute the most to effective pre-training.

This paper presents the OPUS ecosystem with a focus on the development of open machine translation models and tools, and their integration into end-user applications, development platforms and professional workflows. We discuss our on-going mission of increasing language coverage and translation quality, and also describe on-going work on the development of modular translation models and speed-optimized compact solutions for real-time translation on regular desktops and small devices.

关于阿塞拜疆的神经机器翻译（NMT）的研究很少。在本文中，我们将阿塞拜疆 - 英语NMT系统的性能基于一系列技术和数据集的性能。我们评估哪种细分技术在阿塞拜疆翻译上最有效，并基准了阿塞拜疆NMT模型在几个文本领域中的性能。我们的结果表明，虽然Umigram细分改善了NMT的性能，而Azerbaijani翻译模型则比数量更好，但跨域泛化仍然是一个挑战

Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is an end-to-end learning approach for automated translation, with the potential to overcome many of the weaknesses of conventional phrase-based translation systems. Unfortunately, NMT systems are known to be computationally expensive both in training and in translation inference -sometimes prohibitively so in the case of very large data sets and large models. Several authors have also charged that NMT systems lack robustness, particularly when input sentences contain rare words. These issues have hindered NMT's use in practical deployments and services, where both accuracy and speed are essential. In this work, we present GNMT, Google's Neural Machine Translation system, which attempts to address many of these issues. Our model consists of a deep LSTM network with 8 encoder and 8 decoder layers using residual connections as well as attention connections from the decoder network to the encoder. To improve parallelism and therefore decrease training time, our attention mechanism connects the bottom layer of the decoder to the top layer of the encoder. To accelerate the final translation speed, we employ low-precision arithmetic during inference computations. To improve handling of rare words, we divide words into a limited set of common sub-word units ("wordpieces") for both input and output. This method provides a good balance between the flexibility of "character"-delimited models and the efficiency of "word"-delimited models, naturally handles translation of rare words, and ultimately improves the overall accuracy of the system. Our beam search technique employs a length-normalization procedure and uses a coverage penalty, which encourages generation of an output sentence that is most likely to cover all the words in the source sentence. To directly optimize the translation BLEU scores, we consider refining the models by using reinforcement learning, but we found that the improvement in the BLEU scores did not reflect in the human evaluation. On the WMT'14 English-to-French and English-to-German benchmarks, GNMT achieves competitive results to state-of-the-art. Using a human side-by-side evaluation on a set of isolated simple sentences, it reduces translation errors by an average of 60% compared to Google's phrase-based production system.

Traditional multilingual neural machine translation (MNMT) uses a single model to translate all directions. However, with the increasing scale of language pairs, simply using a single model for massive MNMT brings new challenges: parameter tension and large computations. In this paper, we revisit multi-way structures by assigning an individual branch for each language (group). Despite being a simple architecture, it is challenging to train de-centralized models due to the lack of constraints to align representations from all languages. We propose a localized training recipe to map different branches into a unified space, resulting in an efficient detachable model, Lego-MT. For a fair comparison, we collect data from OPUS and build the first large-scale open-source translation benchmark covering 7 language-centric data, each containing 445 language pairs. Experiments show that Lego-MT (1.2B) brings gains of more than 4 BLEU while outperforming M2M-100 (12B) (We will public all training data, models, and checkpoints)

最近非自动增加（NAR）机器翻译最近取得了显着的改进，现在优于一些基准测试的自动增加（AR）模型，为AR推断提供有效的替代方案。然而，虽然AR转换通常使用多语言模型来实现，但是从语言之间的转移和改善的服务效率，多语言NAR模型仍然相对未开发。作为一个示例NAR模型和变压器作为半NAR模型，采用连接员时间分类（CTC），我们展示了多语种NAR的全面实证研究。我们在容量限制下对相关语言与负转移之间的积极转移来测试其能力。随着NAR模型需要蒸馏培训套，我们仔细研究双语与多语种教师的影响。最后，我们适合多语言NAR的缩放法，这使得其相对于AR模型的性能随着模型量表的增加而定量。

Subword units are an effective way to alleviate the open vocabulary problems in neural machine translation (NMT). While sentences are usually converted into unique subword sequences, subword segmentation is potentially ambiguous and multiple segmentations are possible even with the same vocabulary. The question addressed in this paper is whether it is possible to harness the segmentation ambiguity as a noise to improve the robustness of NMT. We present a simple regularization method, subword regularization, which trains the model with multiple subword segmentations probabilistically sampled during training. In addition, for better subword sampling, we propose a new subword segmentation algorithm based on a unigram language model. We experiment with multiple corpora and report consistent improvements especially on low resource and out-of-domain settings.

In this paper, we study the use of deep Transformer translation model for the CCMT 2022 Chinese-Thai low-resource machine translation task. We first explore the experiment settings (including the number of BPE merge operations, dropout probability, embedding size, etc.) for the low-resource scenario with the 6-layer Transformer. Considering that increasing the number of layers also increases the regularization on new model parameters (dropout modules are also introduced when using more layers), we adopt the highest performance setting but increase the depth of the Transformer to 24 layers to obtain improved translation quality. Our work obtains the SOTA performance in the Chinese-to-Thai translation in the constrained evaluation.
