Abstract

Existing methods of training domain-specialized neural machine translation (DS-NMT) models are based on the pretrain-finetuning approach (PFA). In this study, we reinterpret existing methods based on the perspective of cognitive science related to cross language speech perception. We propose the cross communication method (CCM), a new DS-NMT training approach. Inspired by the learning method of infants, we perform DS-NMT training by configuring and training DC and GC concurrently in batches. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of our experimental results show that CCM can achieve superior performance compared to the conventional methods. Additionally, we conducted an experiment considering the DS-NMT service to meet industrial demands.
