To make full use of the partially aligned corpora, we adapt the conventional NMT training method in two aspects.

Unfortunately, the large-scale parallel data is always insufficient in many domains and language pairs. Without sufficient parallel sentence pairs, NMT tends to learn poor estimates on low-count events. Actually, there have been some effective methods to deal with the situation of translating language pairs with limited resource under different scenarios (Johnson et al., 2016; Sennrich et al., 2016a; . In this paper, we address a new translation scenario in which we do not have any parallel sentences but have massive monolingual corpora and phrase pairs. The previous methods are hard to be used to learn an NMT model under this situation. In this paper, we propose a novel method to learn an NMT model using only monolingual data and phrase pairs.",

When generating the unaligned target words , our model only depends on the words previously generated without considering the context of source side.

The end-to-end NMT framework consists of two recurrent neural networks, which are respectively called encoder and decoder. First, the encoder network encodes the X into context vectors C.

Then, X and Y are non-parallel but contain the parallel part. We call these kinds of data the partially aligned sentences. In this work, we collect the partially aligned sentences by searching the phrase pairs in both of the source and target monolingual data simultaneously. In order to reduce the time of the searching process, the monolingual training corpora are first split into many parts. Then, we retrieve the source phrase in each part to restrict the source range of partially aligned corpus. With the retrieved results, we can search the final results of the partially aligned sentences pairs easily. In this way we can construct our corpora, in which only one or more phrases are aligned in every sentence pairs. We denote a partially aligned sentence (",

To do this, we use Moses (Koehn et al., 2007) in its training step to learn a phrase table from LDC corpus, which includes 0.63M sentence pairs. In order to simulate the experiment as far as possible, we adopt three strategies to filter low quality phrase pairs: 1) the phrases containing the punctuation should be filtered out. (The special phrase parirs introduced in \u00a73.2.4 should be retain) 2) the length of source phrase and target phrase should be greater than 3. 3) only the phrase pairs whose translation probability exceed 0.5 should be retain. In this way, we can get 3M phrase pairs in our experiment. According to our analysis, the average length of phrases are 4.15 and 4.70 on source and target side respectively. When we search the phrase pairs in monolingual sentences, an obstacle is that one phrase pair will get different source sentences with same target sentence or same source sentence with different target sentences. Therefore, for one phrase pair, we have to restrict the number n of both source sentences and target sentences. To balance the search speed of the phrase pairs in monolingual corpora and the amount of partially aligned sentences, we set the hyper-parameter n to 7. We can search for 5M partially aligned sentences in our experiment. We also calculate the average length ratio of aligned phrases against the whole sentence, which is only 21% and 23% respectively on source and target side.",
