DFKI-NMT Submission to the WMT19 News Translation Task

Jingyi Zhang, Josef van Genabith


Abstract
This paper describes the DFKI-NMT submission to the WMT19 News translation task. We participated in both English-to-German and German-to-English directions. We trained Transformer models and adopted various techniques for effectively training our models, including data selection, back-translation and in-domain fine-tuning. We give a detailed analysis of the performance of our system.
