报告摘要

Machine translation (MT) is still predominantly modelled and evaluated on the level of sentences, but neural methods have the potential to overcome this limitation and allow effective document-***, practical challenges of document-level MT include the lack of suitable training data, the high computational cost of wider-context models, and low reward for "context-aware" translation in automatic metrics.

In his talk, he will discuss recent neural architectures that take into account wider context and address computational and data bottlenecks in different ways, ***, he will show that targeted evaluation can guide the development of document-level system by highlighting the effects of various modelling decisions.
