Transformer-based Screenplay Summarization Using Augmented Learning Representation with Dialogue Information
Myungji Lee | Hongseok Kwon | Jaehun Shin | WonKee Lee | Baikjin Jung | Jong-Hyeok Lee
Proceedings of the Third Workshop on Narrative Understanding

Screenplay summarization is the task of extracting informative scenes from a screenplay. The screenplay contains turning point (TP) events that change the story direction and thus define the story structure decisively. Accordingly, this task can be defined as the TP identification task. We suggest using dialogue information, one attribute of screenplays, motivated by previous work that discovered that TPs have a relation with dialogues appearing in screenplays. To teach a model this characteristic, we add a dialogue feature to the input embedding. Moreover, in an attempt to improve the model architecture of previous studies, we replace LSTM with Transformer. We observed that the model can better identify TPs in a screenplay by using dialogue information and that a model adopting Transformer outperforms LSTM-based models.

Adaptation of Back-translation to Automatic Post-Editing for Synthetic Data Generation

Automatic Post-Editing (APE) aims to correct errors in the output of a given machine translation (MT) system. Although data-driven approaches have become prevalent also in the APE task as in many other NLP tasks, there has been a lack of qualified training data due to the high cost of manual construction. eSCAPE, a synthetic APE corpus, has been widely used to alleviate the data scarcity, but it might not address genuine APE corpora’s characteristic that the post-edited sentence should be a minimally edited revision of the given MT output. Therefore, we propose two new methods of synthesizing additional MT outputs by adapting back-translation to the APE task, obtaining robust enlargements of the existing synthetic APE training dataset. Experimental results on the WMT English-German APE benchmarks demonstrate that our enlarged datasets are effective in improving APE performance.

POSTECH-ETRI’s Submission to the WMT2020 APE Shared Task: Automatic Post-Editing with Cross-lingual Language Model
Jihyung Lee | WonKee Lee | Jaehun Shin | Baikjin Jung | Young-Kil Kim | Jong-Hyeok Lee
Proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Machine Translation

This paper describes POSTECH-ETRI’s submission to WMT2020 for the shared task on automatic post-editing (APE) for 2 language pairs: English-German (En-De) and English-Chinese (En-Zh). We propose APE systems based on a cross-lingual language model, which jointly adopts translation language modeling (TLM) and masked language modeling (MLM) training objectives in the pre-training stage; the APE models then utilize jointly learned language representations between the source language and the target language. In addition, we created 19 million new sythetic triplets as additional training data for our final ensemble model. According to experimental results on the WMT2020 APE development data set, our models showed an improvement over the baseline by TER of -3.58 and a BLEU score of +5.3 for the En-De subtask; and TER of -5.29 and a BLEU score of +7.32 for the En-Zh subtask.

Noising Scheme for Data Augmentation in Automatic Post-Editing

Proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Machine Translation

This paper describes POSTECH’s submission to WMT20 for the shared task on Automatic Post-Editing (APE). Our focus is on increasing the quantity of available APE data to overcome the shortage of human-crafted training data. In our experiment, we implemented a noising module that simulates four types of post-editing errors, and we introduced this module into a Transformer-based multi-source APE model. Our noising module implants errors into texts on the target side of parallel corpora during the training phase to make synthetic MT outputs, increasing the entire number of training samples. We also generated additional training data using the parallel corpora and NMT model that were released for the Quality Estimation task, and we used these data to train our APE model. Experimental results on the WMT20 English-German APE data set show improvements over the baseline in terms of both the TER and BLEU scores: our primary submission achieved an improvement of -3.15 TER and +4.01 BLEU, and our contrastive submission achieved an improvement of -3.34 TER and +4.30 BLEU.

Transformer-based Automatic Post-Editing Model with Joint Encoder and Multi-source Attention of Decoder
WonKee Lee | Jaehun Shin | Jong-Hyeok Lee
Proceedings of the Fourth Conference on Machine Translation (Volume 3: Shared Task Papers, Day 2)

This paper describes POSTECH’s submission to the WMT 2019 shared task on Automatic Post-Editing (APE). In this paper, we propose a new multi-source APE model by extending Transformer. The main contributions of our study are that we 1) reconstruct the encoder to generate a joint representation of translation (mt) and its src context, in addition to the conventional src encoding and 2) suggest two types of multi-source attention layers to compute attention between two outputs of the encoder and the decoder state in the decoder. Furthermore, we train our model by applying various teacher-forcing ratios to alleviate exposure bias. Finally, we adopt the ensemble technique across variations of our model. Experiments on the WMT19 English-German APE data set show improvements in terms of both TER and BLEU scores over the baseline. Our primary submission achieves -0.73 in TER and +1.49 in BLEU compare to the baseline.

Multi-encoder Transformer Network for Automatic Post-Editing
Jaehun Shin | Jong-Hyeok Lee
Proceedings of the Third Conference on Machine Translation: Shared Task Papers

This paper describes the POSTECH’s submission to the WMT 2018 shared task on Automatic Post-Editing (APE). We propose a new neural end-to-end post-editing model based on the transformer network. We modified the encoder-decoder attention to reflect the relation between the machine translation output, the source and the post-edited translation in APE problem. Experiments on WMT17 English-German APE data set show an improvement in both TER and BLEU score over the best result of WMT17 APE shared task. Our primary submission achieves -4.52 TER and +6.81 BLEU score on PBSMT task and -0.13 TER and +0.40 BLEU score for NMT task compare to the baseline.
