报告摘要：Machine translation (MT) is a classic topic in NLP and AI. From 2010s when abundant computational resources became available, neural machine translation (NMT) reached state-of-the-art performance. Recently, unsupervised NMT (UNMT), which only relies on mono-lingual corpora, has achieved impressive results. Meanwhile, there are still several challenges for UNMT. This talk first introduces the background and the latest progress of UNMT. We then examine a number of challenges to UNMT and give empirical results on how well the technology currently holds up.
