  abstract  = {We examine the effects of particular orderings of sentence pairs on the on-line
	training of neural machine translation (NMT). We focus on two types of such
	orderings: (1) ensuring that each minibatch contains sentences similar in some
	aspect and (2) gradual inclusion of some sentence types as the training
	progresses (so called ``curriculum learning''). In our English-to-Czech
	experiments, the internal homogeneity of minibatches has no effect on the
	training but some of our ``curricula'' achieve a small improvement over the
	baseline.},
