18 Jul18 Issue #1 – Scaling Neural MT Author: Dr. Rohit Gupta, Sr. Machine Translation Scientist @ Iconic Training a neural machine translation engine is a time consuming task. It typically takes a number of days or even weeks, when running powerful GPUs. Reducing this time is a priority of any neural MT developer. In this post we explore a recent work (Ott et al, 2018), whereby, without compromising the translation quality, they speed up the training 4.9 times on […]
