Kyoto University Participation to the WMT 2019 News Shared Task

WS 2019  ·  Fabien Cromieres, Sadao Kurohashi ·

We describe here the experiments we did for the the news translation shared task of WMT 2019. We focused on the new German-to-French language direction, and mostly used current standard approaches to develop a Neural Machine Translation system. We make use of the Tensor2Tensor implementation of the Transformer model. After carefully cleaning the data and noting the importance of the good use of recent monolingual data for the task, we obtain our final result by combining the output of a diverse set of trained models through the use of their {``}checkpoint agreement{''}.
