Code for our EMNLP 2021 paper "Learning Kernel-Smoothed Machine Translation with Retrieved Examples" [paper].

Usage

Download the processed datasets from this site. You can also download the built databases from this site and download the model checkpoints from this site.

Train a general-domain base model

Take English -> Germain translation for example.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
python3 -m joeynmt train configs/transformer_base_wmt14_en2de.yaml

Finetuning trained base model on domain-specific datasets

Take English -> Germain translation in Koran domain for example.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
python3 -m joeynmt train configs/transformer_base_koran_en2de.yaml

Build database

Take English -> Germain translation in Koran domain for example, wmt14_en_de.transformer.ckpt is the path of trained general-domain base model checkpoint.

mkdir database/koran_en_de_base
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python3 -m joeynmt build_database configs/transformer_base_koran_en2de.yaml \
        --ckpt wmt14_en_de.transformer.ckpt \
        --division train \
        --index_path database/koran_en_de_base/trained.index \
        --token_map_path database/koran_en_de_base/token_map \
        --embedding_path database/koran_en_de_base/embeddings.npy

Train the bandwidth estimator and weight estimator in KSTER

Take English -> Germain translation in Koran domain for example.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3
python3 -m joeynmt combiner_train configs/transformer_base_koran_en2de.yaml \
        --ckpt wmt14_en_de.transformer.ckpt \
        --combiner dynamic_combiner \
        --top_k 16 \
        --kernel laplacian \
        --index_path database/koran_en_de_base/trained.index \
        --token_map_path database/koran_en_de_base/token_map \
        --embedding_path database/koran_en_de_base/embeddings.npy \
        --in_memory True

Inference

We unify the inference of base model, finetuned or joint-trained model, kNN-MT and KSTER with a concept of combiner (see joeynmt/combiners.py).

Combiner type	Methods	Description
NoCombiner	Base, Finetuning, Joint-training	Directly inference without retrieval.
StaticCombiner	kNN-MT	Retrieve similar examples during inference. mixing_weight and bandwidth are pre-specified.
DynamicCombiner	KSTER	Retrieve similar examples during inference. mixing_weight and bandwidth are dynamically estimated.

Inference with NoCombiner for Base model

Take English -> Germain translation in Koran domain for example.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python3 -m joeynmt test configs/transformer_base_koran_en2de.yaml \
        --ckpt wmt14_en_de.transformer.ckpt \
        --combiner no_combiner

Inference with StaticCombiner for kNN-MT

Take English -> Germain translation in Koran domain for example.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python3 -m joeynmt test configs/transformer_base_koran_en2de.yaml \
        --ckpt wmt14_en_de.transformer.ckpt \
        --combiner static_combiner \
        --top_k 16 \
        --mixing_weight 0.7 \
        --bandwidth 10 \
        --kernel gaussian \
        --index_path database/koran_en_de_base/trained.index \
        --token_map_path database/koran_en_de_base/token_map

Inference with DynamicCombiner for KSTER

Take English -> Germain translation in Koran domain for example, koran_en_de.laplacian.combiner.ckpt is the path of trained bandwidth estimator and weight estimator for Koran domain.
--in_memory option specifies whether to load the example embeddings to memory. Set in_memory == True for faster inference, set in_memory == False for lower memory demand.

export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0
python3 -m joeynmt test configs/transformer_base_koran_en2de.yaml \
        --ckpt wmt14_en_de.transformer.ckpt \
        --combiner dynamic_combiner \
        --combiner_path koran_en_de.laplacian.combiner.ckpt \
        --top_k 16 \
        --kernel laplacian \
        --index_path database/koran_en_de_base/trained.index \
        --token_map_path database/koran_en_de_base/token_map \
        --embedding_path database/koran_en_de_base/embeddings.npy \
        --in_memory True
