Neural Poetry Translation

Marjan Ghazvininejad, Yejin Choi, Kevin Knight


Abstract
We present the first neural poetry translation system. Unlike previous works that often fail to produce any translation for fixed rhyme and rhythm patterns, our system always translates a source text to an English poem. Human evaluation of the translations ranks the quality as acceptable 78.2% of the time.
