  • Patent number: 12619835
    Abstract: Multilingual neural machine translation systems having monolingual adapter layers and bilingual adapter layers for zero-shot translation include an encoder configured for encoding an input sentence in a source language into an encoder representation and a decoder configured for processing output of the encoder adapter layer to generate a decoder representation. The encoder includes an encoder adapter selector for selecting, from a plurality of encoder adapter layers, an encoder adapter layer for the source language to process the encoder representation. The decoder includes a decoder adapter selector for selecting, from a plurality of decoder adapter layers, a decoder adapter layer for a target language for generating a translated sentence of the input sentence in the target language from the decoder representation.

  • Patent number: 11625544
    Abstract: In methods for training a natural language generation (NLG) model using a processor a document-level machine translation (MT) model is provided by training an MT model to receive as input, token sequences in a first language, and to generate as output, token sequences in a second language. An augmented document-level MT model is provided by training the document-level MT model to receive as input, paired language-independent structured data and token sequences in the first language, and to generate as output, token sequences in the second language. The augmented document-level MT model is trained to receive as input, language-independent structured data, and to generate as output, token sequences in the second language.
