摘要:

机器翻译模型具有离散的词汇表,并且通常使用子词切分技术来实现“开放词汇表”。“这种方法依赖于一致且正确的底层unicode序列,并使模型容易受到常见类型的噪音和变化的影响。出于人类语言处理的鲁棒性,我们提出了使用视觉文本表示,它免除了一组有限的文本嵌入有利于连续的词汇表通过处理视觉呈现的文本与滑动窗口。我们表明,使用视觉文本表示的模型在小型和大型数据集上接近或匹配传统文本模型的性能。更重要的是,具有视觉嵌入的模型对各种类型的噪声表现出显著的鲁棒性,例如,25.9 BLEU在字符排列的德语-英语任务中,子词模型降级为1.9。

英文摘要:

Machine translation models have discrete vocabularies and commonly use subword segmentation techniques to achieve an 'open vocabulary.' This approach relies on consistent and correct underlying unicode sequences, and makes models susceptible to degradation from common types of noise and variation. Motivated by the robustness of human language processing, we propose the use of visual text representations, which dispense with a finite set of text embeddings in favor of continuous vocabularies created by processing visually rendered text with sliding windows. We show that models using visual text representations approach or match performance of traditional text models on small and larger datasets. More importantly, models with visual embeddings demonstrate significant robustness to varied types of noise, achieving e.g., 25.9 BLEU on a character permuted German-English task where subword models degrade to 1.9.
