Title
The NiuTrans Machine Translation Systems for WMT19
Abstract
This paper described NiuTrans neural machine translation systems for the WMT 2019 news translation tasks. We participated in 13 translation directions, including 11 supervised tasks, namely EN <->{ZH, DE, RU, KK, LT}, GU -> EN and the unsupervised DE <-> CS subtrack. Our systems were built on deep Transformer and several back-translation methods. Iterative knowledge distillation and ensemble+reranking were also employed to obtain stronger models. Our unsupervised submissions were based on NMT enhanced by SMT. As a result, we achieved the highest BLEU scores in {KK <-> EN, GU -> EN} directions, ranking 2nd in {RU -> EN, DE <-> CS} and 3rd in {ZH -> EN, LT -> EN, EN -> RU, EN <-> DE} among all constrained submissions.
