This is an incremental improvement for machine translation researchers, focusing on a specific language pair.
The authors tackled Finnish-to-English news translation using a character-based neural machine translation model, achieving a BLEU score of 12.9.
In the current work, we present a description of the system submitted to WMT 2018 News Translation Shared task. The system was created to translate news text from Finnish to English. The system used a Character Based Neural Machine Translation model to accomplish the given task. The current paper documents the preprocessing steps, the description of the submitted system and the results produced using the same. Our system garnered a BLEU score of 12.9.
