CUNI system for WMT17 automatic post-editing task

Abstract

Following upon the last year's CUNI system for automatic post-editing of machine translation output, we focus on exploiting the potential of sequence-to-sequence neural models for this task. In this system description paper, we compare several encoder-decoder architectures on a smaller-scale models and present the system we submitted to WMT 2017 Automatic Post-Editing shared task based on this preliminary comparison. We also show how simple inclusion of synthetic data can improve the overall performance as measured by an automatic evaluation metric. Lastly, we list few example outputs generated by our post-editing system.
