Deeply Supervised, Layer-wise Prediction-aware (DSLP) Transformer for Non-autoregressive Neural Machine Translation

Non-Autoregressive Translation with Layer-Wise Prediction and Deep Supervision

Training Efficiency

We show the training efficiency of our DSLP model based on vanilla NAT model. Specifically, we compared the BLUE socres of vanilla NAT and vanilla NAT with DSLP & Mixed Training on the same traning time (in hours).

As we observed, our DSLP model achieves much higher BLUE scores shortly after the training started (~3 hours). It shows that our DSLP is much more efficient in training, as our model ahieves higher BLUE scores with the same amount of training cost.

We run the experiments with 8 Tesla V100 GPUs. The batch size is 128K tokens, and each model is trained with 300K updates.

Replication

We provide the scripts of replicating the results on WMT'14 EN-DE task.
