03 Oct19 Issue #54 – Pivot-based Transfer Learning for Neural MT Author: Dr. Rohit Gupta, Sr. Machine Translation Scientist @ Iconic Pivot-based Transfer Learning for Neural MT between Non-English Languages Neural MT for many non-English languages is still a challenge because of the unavailability of direct parallel data between these languages. In general, translation between non-English languages, e.g. French to German, is usually done with pivoting through English, i.e., translating French (source) input to English (pivot) and English (pivot) into German.
