Word alignment plays a crucial role in various natural language processing tasks, such as serving as cross-lingual signals for sentence embedding, reducing hallucination and omission in machine translation, and facilitating the construction of training data for simultaneous speech translation.Curren…
The field of cross-lingual sentence embeddings has recently experienced significant advancements, but research concerning low-resource languages has lagged due to the scarcity of parallel corpora. This paper shows that cross-lingual word representation in low-resource languages is notably under-alig…
The problem of hallucination and omission, a long-standing problem in machine translation (MT), is more pronounced when a large language model (LLM) is used in MT because an LLM itself is susceptible to these phenomena. In this work, we mitigate the problem in an LLM-based MT model by guiding it to…
