Issue #69 – Using Paraphrases in Multilingual Neural MT
Author: Dr. Chao-Hong Liu, Machine Translation Scientist @ Iconic
Paraphrasing is common in human languages, as a way to talk about the same thing in different ways. There are many possible sentences that could be used to express the same meaning. From an MT perspective, we wanted to train systems that could not only translate sentences that bear similar meaning in one language into a sentence in another language, but also translate into different sentences that bear the same meaning. In this post we will discuss the work done by Zhou et al., (2020).

Multilingual NMT
The invention of neural machine translation (NMT) allows us to build an MT system that can translate from multiple languages into multiple languages. This is usually done by specifying which target language is to be translated to on the source side of
