Russian-English Bidirectional Machine Translation System
Abstract
AbstractThis review depicts our submission to the WMT20 shared news translation task. WMT is the conference to assess the level of machine translation capabilities of organizations in the word. We participated in one language pair and two language directions, from Russian to English and from English to Russian. We used official training data, 102 million parallel corpora and 10 million monolingual corpora. Our baseline systems are Transformer models trained with the Sockeye sequence modeling toolkit, supplemented by bi-text data filtering schemes, back-translations, reordering and other related processing methods. The BLEU value of our translation result from Russian to English is 35.7, ranking 5th, while from English to Russian is 39.8, ranking 2th.
