The University of Edinburgh's English-German and English-Hausa Submissions to the WMT21 News Translation Task

  • 1. University of Edinburgh

Description

This paper presents the University of Edinburgh’s constrained submissions of EnglishGerman and English-Hausa systems to the WMT 2021 shared task on news translation. We build En-De systems in three stages: corpus filtering, back-translation, and fine-tuning. For En-Ha we use an iterative back-translation approach on top of pre-trained En-De models and investigate vocabulary embedding mapping.
