  • details about experiment: 
 small data,

 2nd translator uses random initialized embedding
  • results (BLEU): 
 BASELINE: 43.87
 best result of our model: 42.56

2017/05/10 Aodong Li 13:30 22:00 8
  • experiment setting: 
 small data, 
 1st and 2nd translator uses the different training data, counting 22000 and 22017 seperately
 2nd translator uses random initialized embedding
  • results (BLEU): 
 BASELINE: 36.67 (36.67 is the model at 4750 updates, but we use model at 3000 updates to
                    prevent the case of overfitting, to generate the 2nd translator's training data, for 
                    which the BLEU is 34.96)
 best result of our model: 29.81
 This may suggest that that using either the same training data with 1st translator or different
                   one won't influence 2nd translator's performance, instead, using the same one may
                    be better, at least from results. But I have to give a consideration of a smaller size 
                    of training data compared to yesterday's model.

  • experiment setting: 
 small data, 
 1st and 2nd translator uses the same training data, 
 2nd translator uses constant untrainable embedding imported from 1st translator's decoder
  • results (BLEU): 
 BASELINE: 43.87
 best result of our model: 43.48
 Experiments show that this kind of series or cascade model will definitely impair the final perfor-
                     mance due to information loss as the information flows through the network from 
                     end to end. Decoder's smaller vocabulary size compared to encoder's demonstrate
                     this (9000+ -> 6000+).
 The intention of this experiment is looking for a map to solve meaning shift using 2nd translator,
                     but result of whether the map is learned or not is obscured by the smaller vocab size 
                     phenomenon.

2017/05/23 Aodong Li 13:00 21:30 8
  • details about experiment 1: 
 hidden_size = 700
 emb_size = 510
 learning_rate = 0.0005 (0.001 in prior)
 small data, 
 2nd translator uses as training data the concat(Chinese, machine translated English), 
 2nd translator uses random initialized embedding
  • results (BLEU): 
 BASELINE: 43.87
 best result of our model: 42.19
 Overfitting? In overall, the 2nd translator performs worse than baseline
  • details about experiment 2: 
 hidden_size = 500
 emb_size = 310
 learning_rate = 0.001
 small data, 
 double-decoder model with joint loss which means the final loss  = 1st decoder's loss + 2nd 
 decoder's loss
  • results (BLEU): 
 BASELINE: 43.87
 best result of our model: 39.04
 The 1st decoder's output is generally better than 2nd decoder's output. The reason may be that 
 the second decoder only learns from the first decoder's hidden states because their states are 
 almost the same.
  • DISCOVERY: 
 The reason why double-decoder without joint loss generalizes very bad is that the gap between
 force teaching mechanism (training process) and beam search mechanism (decoding process)
 propagates and expands the error to the output end, which destroys the model when decoding.
  • next: 
 Try to train double-decoder model without joint loss but with beam search on 1st decoder.
