On Using Monolingual Corpora in Neural Machine Translation

2015 · HAL (Le Centre pour la Communication Scientifique Directe)

Recent work on end-to-end neural network-based architectures for machine translation has shown promising results for En-Fr and En-De translation. Arguably, one of the major factors behind this success has been the availability of high quality …

An Actor-Critic Algorithm for Sequence Prediction

2016 · arXiv (Cornell University)

We present an approach to training neural networks to generate sequences using actor-critic methods from reinforcement learning (RL). Current log-likelihood training methods are limited by the discrepancy between their training and testing modes, as models …
