Enhancing Translation Accuracy with LLMs Instruction Tuning

Q: How can unlikelihood training be adapted to balance MLE loss and UL loss more effectively?

In order to balance Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) loss and Unlikelihood (UL) loss more effectively during training, several strategies can be implemented: Dynamic Alpha Adjustment: Instead of using a fixed mixing hyperparameter α, the model could dynamically adjust this value based on the performance metrics observed during training. By monitoring how the model responds to different values of α in terms of reducing off-target translations and improving translation quality, an adaptive algorithm could optimize α for each batch or epoch. Regularization Techniques: Introducing regularization techniques such as L1 or L2 regularization on the UL loss term can help prevent overfitting while balancing it with MLE loss. This regularization penalty would encourage the model to maintain a balance between likelihood-based learning and unlikelihood-based learning. Ensemble Methods: Training multiple models with varying combinations of α values and then ensembling their predictions could provide a robust solution that leverages diverse perspectives on balancing MLE and UL losses. Curriculum Learning: Gradually increasing the weight given to UL loss over time through curriculum learning can allow the model to first focus on maximizing likelihood before incorporating unlikelihood constraints gradually. By implementing these adaptations, we can enhance the effectiveness of unlikelihood training in achieving a better balance between MLE and UL losses for improved zero-shot translation performance.

اقتباسات

"Our method could effectively reduce the off-target translation ratio (averagely -53.3%), thus improving translation quality with average +5.7 SacreBLEU and +16.4 BLEURT."
"When tackling zero-shot directions, LLM heavily encounters the off-target problem, for example, in De→Fr, the off-target ratio reaches 99.5%."
