Miðeind's WMT 2021 submission
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Article in proceedings › Research › peer-review
We present Miðeind's submission for the English→Icelandic and Icelandic→English subsets of the 2021 WMT news translation task. Transformer-base models are trained for translation on parallel data to generate backtranslations iteratively. A pretrained mBART-25 model is then adapted for translation using parallel data as well as the last backtranslation iteration. This adapted pretrained model is then used to re-generate backtranslations, and the training of the adapted model is continued.
