The encoder-decoder abstraction makes it conceptually feasible to build a system that maps any source sentence in any language to a vector representation, and then decodes this representation into any target language.
next, we describe related work, in terms of the parameter generator for nMT: • Pairwise: In the simple and commonly used pairwise nMT setting (Wu et al., 2016;Crego et al., 2016), the parameter generator would generate separate parameters, θ (enc) and θ (dec) , for each pair of source-target languages.
