  4. 2. Understanding Neural Machine Translation : An investigation into linguistic phenomena and attention mechanisms

    Author : Gongbo Tang; Joakim Nivre; Rico Sennrich; Philipp Koehn; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neural machine translation; Linguistic phenomena; Ambiguity; Long-range dependency; Morphology; Negation; Attention mechanisms; Interpretation; Computational Linguistics; Datorlingvistik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, I explore neural machine translation (NMT) models via targeted investigation of various linguistic phenomena and thorough exploration of the internal structure of NMT models, in particular the attention mechanism. With respect to linguistic phenomena, I explore the ability of NMT models to translate ambiguous words, to learn long-range dependencies, to learn morphology, and to translate negation—linguistic phenomena that have been challenging for the older paradigm of statistical machine translation.
