Time: 12:00 am - 12:00 am
Location: Zoom
Speaker: Colman Tse
Talks and other Events

Abstract:

This talk will provide a brief introduction to artificial neural networks (ANNs) and their application in neural machine translation (NMT). We will explore relevant machine learning concepts, including supervised learning, as well as the distinctions between generative and discriminative models.

Next, we will delve into the architecture of NMT, followed by a comprehensive outline of the deployment pipeline. This will encompass essential stages such as data preprocessing, model training, evaluation, and inference.

By the end of the talk, participants will have a clear understanding of how NMT systems function and the critical steps required for their successful implementation. This foundational knowledge will serve as an excellent starting point for further exploration of NMT mechanisms in the context of translation processes.
