Papago’s Submission to the WMT22 Quality Estimation Shared Task

Seunghyun Lim, Jeonghyeok Park


Abstract
This paper describes anonymous submission to the WMT 2022 Quality Estimation shared task. We participate in Task 1: Quality Prediction for both sentence and word-level quality prediction tasks. Our system is a multilingual and multi-task model, whereby a single system can infer both sentence and word-level quality on multiple language pairs. Our system’s architecture consists of Pretrained Language Model (PLM) and task layers, and is jointly optimized for both sentence and word-level quality prediction tasks using multilingual dataset. We propose novel auxiliary tasks for training and explore diverse sources of additional data to demonstrate further improvements on performance. Through ablation study, we examine the effectiveness of proposed components and find optimal configurations to train our submission systems under each language pair and task settings. Finally, submission systems are trained and inferenced using K-folds ensemble. Our systems greatly outperform task organizer’s baseline and achieve comparable performance against other participants’ submissions in both sentence and word-level quality prediction tasks.
