Multi-Domain Adaptation in Neural Machine Translation Through Multidimensional Tagging
share
Many modern Neural Machine Translation (NMT) systems are trained on nonhomogeneous datasets with several distinct dimensions of variation (e.g. domain, source, generation method, style, etc.). We describe and empirically evaluate multidimensional tagging (MDT), a simple yet effective method for passing sentence-level information to the model. Our human and BLEU evaluation results show that MDT can be applied to the problem of multi-domain adaptation and significantly reduce training costs without sacrificing the translation quality on any of the constituent domains.
