A Study on Chinese-English Machine Translation Based on Migration Learning and Neural Networks

Abstract

This paper constructs a neural machine translation model for Chinese and English using encoder feature extraction with migration learning, allowing the machine to automatically perform feature migration learning, transforming Chinese and English data into word vectors using a centralized representation, and using neural networks to achieve a direct mapping between Chinese and English languages. In this paper, we study the construction of a neural machine translation model by the neural network structure. Firstly, the neural machine translation model is constructed using the neural network structure, which is simplified based on the neural network structure and achieves good performance while reducing the training complexity. To address the problem that neural machine translation cannot make good use of linguistic knowledge, a neural machine translation model with lexical sequence information is proposed. Based on the translation model of a bidirectional neural network incorporating attention mechanism, syntactic analysis is performed to obtain lexical sequence information, and then it is incorporated into the encoder part of the translation model in the form of bidirectional encoding, and the background vector is formed together by vector splicing. To address the problem that the Chinese-English language sequences of any length in the encoder part are encoded into a fixed dimensional background vector, an attention mechanism is introduced to dynamically adjust the degree of influence of the context at the source language end on the target language sequences to improve the translation model’s ability to deal with long-distance dependencies. To better reflect the contextual information, this paper further proposes a machine translation model based on migration learning and neural network and conducts a comparative analysis for various translation models to verify the effectiveness of the model performance improvement.
