At training time, it predicts with the ground truth words as context while at inference it has to generate the entire sequence from scratch. This discrepancy of the fed context leads to error accumulation among the way. Furthermore, word-level training requires strict matching between the generated sequence and the ground truth sequence which leads to overcorrection over different but reasonable translations. In this paper, we address these issues by sampling context words not only from the ground truth sequence but also from the predicted sequence by the model during training, where the predicted sequence is selected with a sentence-level optimum. Experiment results on Chinese!English and WMT\u201914 English!German translation tasks demonstrate that our approach can achieve significant improvements on multiple datasets.\n\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Bridging-the-Gap-between-Training-and-Inference-for-Neural-Machine-Translation.pdf\">Bridging-the-Gap-between-Training-and-Inference-for-Neural-Machine-Translation<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Bridging-the-Gap-between-Training-and-Inference-for-Neural-Machine-Translation.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>\u4e0b\u8f7d<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<!--nextpage-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>NLPIR SEMINAR 38th ISSUE COMPLETED<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This Monday, Yaofei Yang shared a lecture on the best long paper of ACL 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3066_-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7033\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3066_-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3066_-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3066_-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3066_-200x150.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_3066_-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is ppt for this seminar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/bridge.pdf\">bridge<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/bridge.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button\" download>\u4e0b\u8f7d<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NLPIR SEMINAR Y2019#26 INTRO In the new  &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/2019\/08\/18\/bridging-the-gap-between-training-and-inference-for-neural-machine-translation\/\">\u7ee7\u7eed\u9605\u8bfb <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":862,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37,38],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7014"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/862"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7014"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7014\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7034,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7014\/revisions\/7034"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7014"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7014"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.nlpir.org\/wordpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7014"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
