英文摘要 | Multilingual neural machine translation allows a single model to translate between multiple language pairs, which greatly reduces the cost of model training and receives much attention recently. Previous studies mainly focus on training stage optimization and improve positive knowledge transfer among languages with different levels of parameter sharing, but ignore the multilingual knowledge transfer during inference although the translation in one language may help the generation of other languages. This work enhances knowledge sharing among multiple target languages in the inference phase. To achieve this, we propose a synchronous inference method that can simultaneously generate translations in multiple languages. During generation, the model that predicts the next word of each language not only based on source sentence and previously predicted segments, but also based on predicted words of other target languages. To maximize the inference stage knowledge sharing, we design a cross-lingual attention module which allows the model to dynamically selects the most relevant information from multiple target languages. The synchronous inference model requires multi-way parallel training data which is scarce. We therefore propose to adopt multi-task learning to incorporate large-scale bilingual data. We evaluate our method on three multilingual translation datasets and prove that the proposed method significantly improve the translation quality and the decoding efficiency compared to strong bilingual and multilingual baselines. |
