Issue #108 – Terminology-Constrained Neural Machine Translation at SAP

19 Nov20 Issue #108 – Terminology-Constrained Neural Machine Translation at SAP Author: Dr. Jingyi Han, Machine Translation Scientist @ Iconic Introduction Nowadays, Neural Machine Translation (NMT) has achieved impressive progress for most of the common language pairs, when enough training materials are available. However, the output is still not as promising for many cases of specific domains that are handled daily by the translation industry. How to enable NMT to properly translate terminology has always been a challenge in production […]

Issue #85 – Applying Terminology Constraints in Neural MT

11 Jun20 Issue #85 – Applying Terminology Constraints in Neural MT Author: Dr. Chao-Hong Liu, Machine Translation Scientist @ Iconic Introduction Maintaining consistency of terminology translation in Neural Machine Translation (NMT) is a more challenging task than in Statistical MT (SMT). In this post, we review a method proposed by Dinu et al. (2019) to train NMT to use custom terminology. Translation with Terminology Constraints Applying terminology constraints to translation may appear to be an easy task. It is a […]
