Dual Conditional Cross-Entropy Filtering of Noisy Parallel Corpora

Junczys-Dowmunt, Marcin

Understand

In this work we introduce dual conditional cross-entropy filtering for noisy parallel data.

  • For each sentence pair of the noisy parallel corpus we compute cross-entropy scores according to two inverse translation models trained on clean data.
  • We penalize divergent cross-entropies and weigh the penalty by the cross-entropy average of both models.
  • Sorting or thresholding according to these scores results in better subsets of parallel data.
