An Effective Optimization Method for Neural Machine Translation: The Case of English-Persian Bilingually Low-Resource Scenario

Benyamin Ahmadnia, Raul Aranovich


Abstract
In this paper, we propose a useful optimization method for low-resource Neural Machine Translation (NMT) by investigating the effectiveness of multiple neural network optimization algorithms. Our results confirm that applying the proposed optimization method on English-Persian translation can exceed translation quality compared to the English-Persian Statistical Machine Translation (SMT) paradigm.
