#1 The RWTH Aachen Machine Translation Systems for IWSLT 2017 [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi1]

Authors: Parnia Bahar ; Jan Rosendahl ; Nick Rossenbach ; Hermann Ney

This work describes the Neural Machine Translation (NMT) system of the RWTH Aachen University developed for the English$German tracks of the evaluation campaign of the International Workshop on Spoken Language Translation (IWSLT) 2017. We use NMT systems which are augmented by state-of-the-art extensions. Furthermore, we experiment with techniques that include data filtering, a larger vocabulary, two extensions to the attention mechanism and domain adaptation. Using these methods, we can show considerable improvements over the respective baseline systems and our IWSLT 2016 submission.
