MBART: Multilingual Denoising Pre-training for Neural Machine Translation

[https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08210]

Introduction

MBART is a sequence-to-sequence denoising auto-encoder pre-trained on large-scale monolingual corpora in many languages using the BART objective. mBART is one of the first methods for pre-training a complete sequence-to-sequence model by denoising full texts in multiple languages, while previous approaches have focused only on the encoder, decoder, or reconstructing parts of the text.
