title = "Incremental decoding and training methods for simultaneous translation in neural machine translation",
abstract = "We address the problem of simultaneous translation by modifying the Neural MT decoder to operate with dynamically built encoder and attention. We propose a tunable agent which decides the best segmentation strategy for a userdefined BLEU loss and Average Proportion (AP) constraint. Our agent outperforms previously proposed Wait-if-diff and Wait-if-worse agents (Cho and Esipova, 2016) on BLEU with a lower latency. Secondly we proposed datadriven changes to Neural MT training to better match the incremental decoding framework.",
