The document proposes using pre-translation with phrase-based machine translation (PBMT) to handle rare words before final translation with neural machine translation (NMT). Two methods are suggested: a pipeline method and a mix method that concatenates the PBMT output and source sentence as input to NMT. Experiments on English-German translation show the mix method outperforms pure NMT and PBMT, gaining up to 1.8 BLEU points by combining the advantages of both approaches.

EMPLOYING PIVOT LANGUAGE TECHNIQUE THROUGH STATISTICAL AND NEURAL MACHINE TRA...ijnlc
The quality of Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems like Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) systems, heavily depends on the size of training data set, while for some pairs of languages, high-quality parallel data are poor resources. In order to respond to this low-resourced training data bottleneck reality, we employ the pivoting approach in both neural MT and statistical MT frameworks. During our experiments on the Persian-Spanish, taken as an under-resourced translation task, we discovered that, the aforementioned method, in both frameworks, significantly improves the translation quality in comparison to the standard direct translation approach.

This presentation delves into the world of Natural Language Processing (NLP), exploring its goal to make human language understandable to machines. The complexities of language, such as ambiguity and complex structures, are highlighted as major challenges. The talk underscores the evolution of NLP through deep learning methodologies, leading to a new era defined by large-scale language models. However, obstacles like low-resource languages and ethical issues including bias and hallucination are acknowledged as enduring challenges in the field. Overall, the presentation provides a condensed, yet comprehensive view of NLP's accomplishments and ongoing hurdles.

Building a Neural Machine Translation System From ScratchNatasha Latysheva
Human languages are complex, diverse and riddled with exceptions – translating between different languages is therefore a highly challenging technical problem. Deep learning approaches have proved powerful in modelling the intricacies of language, and have surpassed all statistics-based methods for automated translation. This session begins with an introduction to the problem of machine translation and discusses the two dominant neural architectures for solving it – recurrent neural networks and transformers. A practical overview of the workflow involved in training, optimising and adapting a competitive neural machine translation system is provided. Attendees will gain an understanding of the internal workings and capabilities of state-of-the-art systems for automatic translation, as well as an appreciation of the key challenges and open problems in the field.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2. Pre-Transla0on for
Neural Machine Transla0on
• NMT produces completely different meaning
• especially rare words occur
• SMT: simplifying input in preprocess has significant gain
• commonly pre-reordering approach
• In this work:
• pre-translate input with PBMT to target language
• NMT system generate final hypothesis use pre-translate sentence
• use “only PBMT output” or
“combina0on of the PBMT output and the source sentence”
• evaluate on En-Ge transla0on task
• outperform PBMT and NMT baseline up to 2 BLEU points

5. propose
• goal : combine the advantages of SMT and NMT
• use pre-transla0on : straigh]orward way
• proposed method
1. translate the input using a PBMT system
• handle the rare words well
2. generate the final transla0on using an NMT system
• more fluent and gramma0cally correct transla0on
• this approach naturally introduces a necessity to
handle the poten0al errors by the PBMT systems
17/06/21 5
10. experiment setup
• PBMT system : two different systems
• baseline system using 3 language models
• a word-based, a bilingual (Niehues et al., 2011),
a cluster based language model 100 automa0cally generated clusters
• a system with advanced models
• pre-reodering (Herrmann et al., 2013) and lexicalized reordering
using a discrimina0ve word lexicon (Niehues and Waibel, 2013) and
a language model trained on the large monolingual data
• NMT system : using Nematus
• use BPE with 40K opera0ons to limit vocabulary size
• ensemble system : took the last four models
