Pre-Reordering for Neural Machine Translation: Helpful or Harmful?

Pre-reordering, a preprocessing to make the source-side word orders close to those of the target side, has been proven very helpful for statistical machine translation (SMT) in improving translation quality. However, is it the case in neural machine translation (NMT)? In this paper, we firstly investigate the impact of pre-reordered source-side data onNMT, and then propose to incorporate featur...
