Abstract
This paper presents the submissions of Huawei Translation Services Center (HW-TSC) to WMT 2022 Word-Level AutoCompletion Task. We propose an end-to-end autoregressive model with bi-context based on Transformer to solve current task. The model uses a mixture of subword and character encoding units to realize the joint encoding of human input, the context of the target side and the decoded sequence, which ensures full utilization of information. We uses one model to solve four types of data structures in the task. During training, we try using a machine translation model as the pre-trained model and fine-tune it for the task. We also add BERT-style MLM data at the fine-tuning stage to improve model performance. We participate in zh→en, en→de, and de→en directions and win the first place in all the three tracks. Particularly, we outperform the second place by more than 5% in terms of accuracy on the zh→en and en→de tracks. The result is buttressed by human evaluations as well, demonstrating the effectiveness of our model.- Anthology ID:
