Before revision:  We present mBART -- a sequence-to-sequence denoising auto-encoder pre-trained on large-scale monolingual corpora in many languages using the BART objective. mBART is the first method for pre-training a complete sequence-to-sequence model by denoising full texts in multiple languages ; previous MT pre-training has focused only on the encoder, decoder, or reconstructing parts of the text.
