Languages present a wide range of structures for expressing similar meanings. This variation has historically motivated the integration of linguistic structure into machine translation (MT) models, so as to abstract away from realization differences, but such integration has been receiving less attention since the introduction of neural MT models. In my talk I will discuss ongoing work we’re carrying out in the lab, on characterizing divergences and their impact on the performance in today’s neural MT models, as well as on two approaches for integrating syntactic structure into MT models to address this gap.

Joint work with many lab members and collaborators, notably Leshem Choshen, Dmitry Nikolaev, Asaf Yehudai and Lior Fox.
