The document discusses advanced neural machine translation, focusing on attention mechanisms that enhance translation accuracy by processing source sentences using context vectors. It details the architecture of neural translation systems, including bidirectional RNNs, context scoring, and character-based embeddings, while comparing performance metrics of various models. Additionally, it touches upon multilingual translation approaches and emphasizes the strengths of neural networks over traditional phrase-based methods.

- 8. 8 Decoder with attention ● The context vector now concatenates forward and reverse encoding vectors ● The decoder generates one symbol at a time based on this new context set To compute the new decoder memory state, we must get one vector out of all context vectors.
- 9. 9 Compute the context vector Each time step t, ONE vector context (c_i) is computed based on the (1) previous hidden state of the decoder (z_(i-1)), (2) previously decoded symbol (u_(i-1)), (3) whole context set (C)
- 10. 10 Score each context vector based on how relevant it is for translating the next target word This scoring (h_j, j=1...T_x) is based on the previous memory state, the previous generated target word and the j-th context vector
- 11. 11 Score each context vector based on how relevant it is for translating the next target word fscore is usually a simple single-layer feedforward network this relevance score measures how relevant the j-th context vector of the source sentence is in deciding the next symbol in the translation
- 12. 12 Normalize relevance scores=attention weight These attention weights correspond to how much the decoder attends to each of the context vectors.
- 13. 13 Obtain the context vector c_i as the weighted sum of the context vectors with their weights being the attention weights
- 14. 14 Update the decoder’s hidden state (The initial hidden state is initialized based on the last hidden state of the reverse RNN)

- 22. 22 Character-based Neural Machine Translation: Motivation ■Word embeddings have been shown to boost the performance in many NLP tasks, including machine translation. ■However, the standard look-up based embeddings are limited to a finite-size vocabulary for both computational and sparsity reasons. ■The orthographic representation of the words is completely ignored. ■The standard learning process is blind to the presence of stems, prefixes, suffixes and any other kind of affixes in words.
- 23. 23 Character-based Neural MT: Proposal (Step 1) ■The computation of the representation of each word starts with a character-based embedding layer that associates each word (sequence of characters) with a sequence of vectors. ■This sequence of vectors is then processed with a set of 1D convolution filters of different lengths followed with a max pooling layer. ■For each convolutional filter, we keep only the output with the maximum value. The concatenation of these max values already provides us with a representation of each word as a vector with a fixed length equal to the total number of convolutional kernels.
- 24. 24 Character-based Neural MT: Proposal (Step 2) ■The addition of two highway layers was shown to improve the quality of the language model in (Kim et al., 2016). ■The output of the second Highway layer will give us the final vector representation of each source word, replacing the standard source word embedding in the neural machine translation system. architecture designed to ease gradient-based training of deep networks
