Abstract: Provided are a model training method for neural machine translation that enhances an encoder using a monolingual corpus of a target language and improves the accuracy of the entire translator, and a machine translation system for performing the model training method. The machine translation system 1000 uses a monolingual corpus of the target language to obtain multiple pieces of pseudo source language data, thus allowing for obtaining a large amount of pseudo parallel corpus data having diversity.

This allows the machine translation system 1000 to obtain a learned model (machine translation model) with very high accuracy.
