09 Apr20 Issue #77 – Neural MT with Subword Units Using BPE-Dropout Author: Dr. Chao-Hong Liu, Machine Translation Scientist @ Iconic The ability to translate subword units enables machine translation (MT) systems to translate rare words that might not appear in the training data used to build MT models. Ideally we don’t want to find these subword units (and their corresponding translated “segments”) as a preprocessing procedure, it would be much easier if we could recognise them directly, and automatically, […]
