#1 Domain Adaptive Inference for Neural Machine Translation [PDF] [Copy] [Kimi1]

Authors: Danielle Saunders ; Felix Stahlberg ; Adrià de Gispert ; Bill Byrne

We investigate adaptive ensemble weighting for Neural Machine Translation, addressing the case of improving performance on a new and potentially unknown domain without sacrificing performance on the original domain. We adapt sequentially across two Spanish-English and three English-German tasks, comparing unregularized fine-tuning, L2 and Elastic Weight Consolidation. We then report a novel scheme for adaptive NMT ensemble decoding by extending Bayesian Interpolation with source information, and report strong improvements across test domains without access to the domain label.
