Registering Source Tokens to Target Language Spaces in Multilingual Neural Machine Translation

ACL 2025long

The multilingual neural machine translation (MNMT) aims for arbitrary translations across multiple languages.Although MNMT-specific models trained on parallel data offer low costs in training and deployment, their performance consistently lags behind that of large language models (LLMs).In this work…

Cross-lingual Contextualized Phrase Retrieval

EMNLP 2024finding

Phrase-level dense retrieval has shown many appealing characteristics in downstream NLP tasks by leveraging the fine-grained information that phrases offer. In our work, we propose a new task formulation of dense retrieval, cross-lingual contextualized phrase retrieval, which aims to augment cross-l…

Disentangling Pretrained Representation to Leverage Low-Resource Languages in Multilingual Machine Translation

COLING 2024main

Multilingual neural machine translation aims to encapsulate multiple languages into a single model. However, it requires an enormous dataset, leaving the low-resource language (LRL) underdeveloped. As LRLs may benefit from shared knowledge of multilingual representation, we aspire to find effective…

Exploring Intrinsic Language-specific Subspaces in Fine-tuning Multilingual Neural Machine Translation

EMNLP 2024main

Multilingual neural machine translation models support fine-tuning hundreds of languages simultaneously. However, fine-tuning on full parameters solely is inefficient potentially leading to negative interactions among languages. In this work, we demonstrate that the fine-tuning for a language occurs…

Operando Multi-Physical Characterization Using Nanorobotic Manipulation With a Picometer-Scale Positioning Resolution

RA-L 2024

The resolution of positioning and the availability of diverse testing environments are pivotal for nanorobotic manipulation (NRM) at small scales. The former involves the measurement of length-related physical quantities, such as velocity based on displacement, forces based on deformation, and elect

Modeling and Characterization of Artificial Bacteria Flagella with Micro-structured Soft-magnetic Teeth

IROS 2022poster

Sub-structures such as micro-structured magnetic teeth fabricated with an artificial bacteria flagellum (ABF) are designed for achieving more motion modes, higher precision, and better controllability. To achieve these, a more precise model considering the non-circular cross-sectional features is se…

DeepExposure: Learning to Expose Photos with Asynchronously Reinforced Adversarial Learning

NeurIPS 2018poster

The accurate exposure is the key of capturing high-quality photos in computational photography, especially for mobile phones that are limited by sizes of camera modules. Inspired by luminosity masks usually applied by professional photographers, in this paper, we develop a novel algorithm for learni…
