CVIT-MT Systems for WAT-2018
This is an incremental improvement for machine translation researchers and practitioners in the specific domain of English-Hindi translation.
The paper tackled the English-Hindi translation task in WAT-2018 by experimenting with convolutional sequence-to-sequence architectures and training with additional backtranslation data, achieving performance evaluated on the provided corpus.
This document describes the machine translation system used in the submissions of IIIT-Hyderabad CVIT-MT for the WAT-2018 English-Hindi translation task. Performance is evaluated on the associated corpus provided by the organizers. We experimented with convolutional sequence to sequence architectures. We also train with additional data obtained through backtranslation.
