Neural Network Machine Translation Method Based on Unsupervised Domain Adaptation

Abstract EN

Relying on large-scale parallel corpora, neural machine translation has achieved great success in certain language pairs.

However, the acquisition of high-quality parallel corpus is one of the main difficulties in machine translation research.

In order to solve this problem, this paper proposes unsupervised domain adaptive neural network machine translation.

This method can be trained using only two unrelated monolingual corpora and obtain a good translation result.

This article first measures the matching degree of translation rules by adding relevant subject information to the translation rules and dynamically calculating the similarity between each translation rule and the document to be translated during the decoding process.

Secondly, through the joint training of multiple training tasks, the source language can learn useful semantic and structural information from the monolingual corpus of a third language that is not parallel to the current two languages during the process of translation into the target language.

Experimental results show that better results can be obtained than traditional statistical machine translation.
