Comparing Multilingual NMT Models and Pivoting
Following recent advancements in multilingual machine translation at scale, our team carried out tests to compare the performance of multilingual models (M2M from Facebook and multilingual models from Helsinki-NLP) with a two-step translation process using English as a pivot language. Direct assessment by linguists rated translations produced by pivoting as consistently better than those obtained from multilingual models of similar size, while automated evaluation with COMET suggested relative performance was strongly impacted by domain and language family.

Zero-Shot Paraphrase Generation with Multilingual Language Models
Leveraging multilingual parallel texts to automatically generate paraphrases has drawn much attention as size of high-quality paraphrase corpus is limited. Round-trip translation, also known as the pivoting method, is a …
