Implementation for the ACL2021 paper "Glancing Transformer for Non-Autoregressive Neural Machine Translation"

Requirements

  • Python >= 3.7
  • Pytorch >= 1.5.0
  • Fairseq 1.0.0a0

Preparation

Train an autoregressive Transformer according to the instructions in Fairseq.

Use the trained autoregressive Transformer to generate target sentences for the training set.

Binarize the distilled training data.

input_dir=path_to_raw_text_data
data_dir=path_to_binarized_output
src=source_language
tgt=target_language
python3 fairseq_cli/preprocess.py --source-lang ${src} --target-lang ${tgt} --trainpref ${input_dir}/train \
    --validpref ${input_dir}/valid --testpref ${input_dir}/test --destdir ${data_dir}/ \
    --workers 32 --src-dict ${input_dir}/dict.${src}.txt --tgt-dict {input_dir}/dict.${tgt}.txt

Train

    --apply-bert-init --activation-fn gelu --user-dir glat_plugins \

Inference

checkpoint_path=path_to_your_checkpoint
python3 fairseq_cli/generate.py ${data_dir} --path ${checkpoint_path} --user-dir glat_plugins \
    --task translation_lev_modified --remove-bpe --max-sentences 20 --source-lang ${src} --target-lang ${tgt} \
    --quiet --iter-decode-max-iter 0 --iter-decode-eos-penalty 0 --iter-decode-with-beam 1 --gen-subset test

The script for averaging checkpoints is scripts/average_checkpoints.py
