Attention-based Multimodal Neural Machine Translation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel neural machine translation (NMT) architecture associating visual and textual features for translation tasks with multiple modalities. Transformed global and regional visual features are concatenated with text to form attendable sequences which are dissipated over parallel long short-term memory (LSTM) threads to assist the encoder generating a representation for attention-based decoding. Experiments show that the proposed NMT outperform the text-only baseline.

Multimodal Attention for Neural Machine Translation
The attention mechanism is an important part of the neural machine translation (NMT) where it was reported to produce richer source representation compared to fixed-length encoding sequence-to-sequence models. Recently, the effectiveness of attention has also been explored in the context of image captioning. In this work, we assess the feasibility of a multimodal attention mechanism that simult...

We present a doubly-attentive multimodal machine translation model. Our model learns to attend to source language and spatial-preserving CONV5,4 visual features as separate attention mechanisms in a neural translation model. In image description translation experiments (Task 1), we find an improvement of 2.3 Meteor points compared to initialising the hidden state of the decoder with only the FC...

In state-of-the-art Neural Machine Translation, an attention mechanism is used during decoding to enhance the translation. At every step, the decoder uses this mechanism to focus on different parts of the source sentence to gather the most useful information before outputting its target word. Recently, the effectiveness of the attention mechanism has also been explored for multimodal tasks, whe...

متن کاملA Comparative Study of English-Persian Translation of Neural Google Translation
Many studies abroad have focused on neural machine translation and almost all concluded that this method was much closer to humanistic translation than machine translation. Therefore, this paper aimed at investigating whether neural machine translation was more acceptable in English-Persian translation in comparison with machine translation. Hence, two types of text were chosen to be translated...
