Title: Neural Machine Translation: Breaking the Performance Plateau

Abstract:

Neural machine translation has seen substantial improvements
in the last two years, and is quickly establishing itself as the
dominant MT technology. I will present recent advances that have
contributed to the rapid progress in the area. I will then analyze the
strengths of neural machine translation, and how it has been able to
surpass phrase-based methods in aspects such as fluency, and discuss
challenges that the MT community will need to address in the future.
