RESHAPE: Reverse-Edited Synthetic Hypotheses for Automatic Post-Editing

Blog Article

Synthetic training data has been extensively used to train Automatic Post-Editing (APE) models in many recent essie pink glove studies because the quantity of human-created data has been considered insufficient.However, the most widely used synthetic APE dataset, eSCAPE, overlooks respecting the minimal editing property of genuine data, and this defect may have been a limiting factor for the performance of APE models.This article suggests adapting back-translation to APE to constrain edit distance, while using stochastic sampling in decoding to maintain the diversity of outputs, to create a new synthetic APE cucharas reservoir dataset, RESHAPE.

Our experiments show that (1) RESHAPE contains more samples resembling genuine APE data than eSCAPE does, and (2) using RESHAPE as new training data improves APE models’ performance substantially over using eSCAPE.
