Learning to Rewrite for Non-Autoregressive Neural Machine Translation

Overview

RewriteNAT

This repo provides the code for reproducing our proposed RewriteNAT in EMNLP 2021 paper entitled "Learning to Rewrite for Non-Autoregressive Neural Machine Translation". RewriteNAT is a iterative NAT model which utilizes a locator component to explicitly learn to rewrite the erroneous translation pieces during iterative decoding.

Dependencies

Preprocessing

All the datasets are tokenized using the scripts from Moses except for Chinese with Jieba tokenizer, and splitted into subword units using BPE. The tokenized datasets are binaried using the script binaried.sh as follows:

python preprocess.py \
    --source-lang ${src} --target-lang ${tgt} \
    --trainpref $TEXT/train --validpref $TEXT/valid --testpref $TEXT/test \
    --destdir data-bin/${dataset} --thresholdtgt 0 --thresholdsrc 0 \ 
    --workers 64 --joined-dictionary

Train

All the models are run on 8 Tesla V100 GPUs for 300,000 updates with an effective batch size of 128,000 tokens apart from En→Fr where we make 500,000 updates to account for the data size. The training scripts train.rewrite.nat.sh is configured as follows:

python train.py \
    data-bin/${dataset} \
    --source-lang ${src} --target-lang ${tgt} \
    --save-dir ${save_dir} \
    --ddp-backend=no_c10d \
    --task translation_lev \
    --criterion rewrite_nat_loss \
    --arch rewrite_nonautoregressive_transformer \
    --noise full_mask \
    ${share_all_embeddings} \
    --optimizer adam --adam-betas '(0.9,0.98)' \
    --lr 0.0005 --lr-scheduler inverse_sqrt \
    --min-lr '1e-09' --warmup-updates 10000 \
    --warmup-init-lr '1e-07' --label-smoothing 0.1 \
    --dropout 0.3 --weight-decay 0.01 \
    --decoder-learned-pos \
    --encoder-learned-pos \
    --length-loss-factor 0.1 \

    --log-format 'simple' --log-interval 100 \
    --fixed-validation-seed 7 \ 
    --max-tokens 4000 \
    --save-interval-updates 10000 \
    --max-update ${step} \
    --update-freq 4 \ 
    --fp16 \
    --save-interval ${save_interval} \
    --discriminator-layers 6 \ 
    --train-max-iter ${max_iter} \
    --roll-in-g sample \
    --roll-in-d oracle \
    --imitation-g \

    --discriminator-loss-factor ${discriminator_weight} \
    --no-share-discriminator \
    --generator-scale ${generator_scale} \
    --discriminator-scale ${discriminator_scale} \

Evaluation

We evaluate performance with BLEU for all language pairs, except for En→>Zh, where we use SacreBLEU. The testing scripts test.rewrite.nat.sh is utilized to generate the translations, as follows:

python generate.py \                                            
    data-bin/${dataset} \                                          
    --source-lang ${src} --target-lang ${tgt} \                    
    --gen-subset ${subset} \                                       
    --task translation_lev \                                       
    --path ${save_dir}/${dataset}/checkpoint_average_${suffix}.pt \
    --iter-decode-max-iter ${max_iter} \                           
    --iter-decode-with-beam ${beam} \                              
    --iter-decode-p ${iter_p} \                                    
    --beam 1 --remove-bpe \                                        
    --batch-size 50\                                               
    --print-step \                                                 
    --quiet
