  2. Neural machine translation (NMT) vs. Hiero NMT Hiero • Simple beam search* • Searches over a vast number of translations • No explicit coverage • CKY parses cover the mechanism* complete source sentence • Limited vocabulary size* • Very large vocabularies, open to extension • Long-range context (RNN) • Limited LM context, weak translation model *: Vanilla formulation of attentional NMT according Bahdanau et al., 2015 Syntactically Guided Neural Machine Translation Felix Stahlberg, Eva Hasler, Aurelien Waite, and Bill Byrne

  3. Combining NMT and Hiero scores x : Source sentence • NMT left-to-right factorization: 𝑈 : Target sentence y = 𝑧 1 • NMT+Hiero via log-linear model combination Hiero predictive posteriors through FST weight pushing UNK score is used for NMT OOVs Syntactically Guided Neural Machine Translation Felix Stahlberg, Eva Hasler, Aurelien Waite, and Bill Byrne

  4. FST weight pushing Hiero lattice: <s>|0.5 </s>|0.1 b|0.5 a|0.4 a|0.8 c|0.4 </s>|1.0 b|0.5 b|0.8 c|0.9 Hiero lattice after weight pushing: <s>|0.409 b|0.061 </s>|1.0 a|0.042 a|0.042 a|0.939 c|0.208 c|0.208 </s>|1.0 b|1.0 b|0.75 b|0.75 c|1.0 𝑄 𝐼𝑗𝑓𝑠𝑝 𝑧 3 = a s a, 𝐲 = 0.042 𝑄 𝐼𝑗𝑓𝑠𝑝 𝑧 3 = c s a, 𝐲 = 0.208 𝑄 𝐼𝑗𝑓𝑠𝑝 𝑧 3 = b s a, 𝐲 = 0.75 Syntactically Guided Neural Machine Translation Felix Stahlberg, Eva Hasler, Aurelien Waite, and Bill Byrne

  7. Conclusion • Using syntactic SMT to guide neural machine translation yields great potential • Our lattice-based approach is faster and better than n-best list rescoring • More discussion in the paper • NMT modelling vs. search errors • Local softmax • Beam size • Lattice size • … Syntactically Guided Neural Machine Translation Felix Stahlberg, Eva Hasler, Aurelien Waite, and Bill Byrne
