Modeling Homophone Noise for Robust Neural Machine Translation
In this paper, we propose a robust neural machine translation (NMT) framework. The framework consists of a homophone noise detector and a syllable-aware NMT model to homophone errors. The detector identifies potential homophone errors in a textual sentence and converts them into syllables to form a mixed sequence that is then fed into the syllable-aware NMT. Extensive experiments on Chinese->English translation demonstrate that our proposed method not only significantly outperforms baselines on noisy test sets with homophone noise, but also achieves a substantial improvement on clean text.

Robust Neural Machine Translation with Joint Textual and Phonetic Embedding
Neural machine translation (NMT) is notoriously sensitive to noises, but noises are almost inevitable in practice. One special kind of noise is the homophone noise, where words are replaced by other words with similar pr…
