NICT at MixMT 2022: Synthetic Code-Mixed Pre-training and Multi-way Fine-tuning for Hinglish–English Translation

Raj Dabre


Abstract
In this paper, we describe our submission to the Code-mixed Machine Translation (MixMT) shared task. In MixMT, the objective is to translate Hinglish to English and vice versa. For our submissions, we focused on code-mixed pre-training and multi-way fine-tuning. Our submissions achieved rank 4 in terms of automatic evaluation score. For Hinglish to English translation, our submission achieved rank 4 as well.
