Abstract
- I train models for the task of neural machine translation for English-Hungarian and Hungarian-English, using the Hunglish2 corpus. The main contribution of this work is evaluating different data augmentation methods during the training of NMT models. I propose 5 different augmentation methods that are structure-aware, meaning that instead of randomly selecting words for blanking or replacement, the dependency tree of sentences is used as a basis for augmentation. I start my thesis with a detailed literature review on neural networks, sequential modeling, neural machine translation, dependency parsing and data augmentation. After a detailed exploratory data analysis and preprocessing of the Hunglish2 corpus, I perform experiments with the proposed data augmentation techniques. The best model for Hungarian-English achieves a BLEU score of 33.9, while the best model for English-Hungarian achieves a BLEU score of 28.6.
