#ACL2021NLP paper by @bricksdont: Understanding the Properties of MBR Decoding in NMT How much is beam search to blame for deficiencies in MT output? MBR decoding still has biases, but is more robust to common failures (copy mode, hallucination). arxiv.org/abs/2105.08504 #NLProc

Monotonic attention is popular for roughly monotonic seq2seq tasks. We show that standard attention can be biased towards monotonicity via new loss, but RNNs more likely to benefit than Transformers. #NAACL2021 by @arios272 @chantalamrhein @noeminaepli arxiv.org/pdf/2104.03945.pdf
