Earlier remedies used monolingual corpora or multilingual and transfer learning. Gu et al. treat each language pair as a separate task and apply model-agnostic meta-learning (MAML). The goal is a parameter initialization that a new low-resource… 2. **[Improved Zero-shot Neural Machine Translation via Ignoring Spurious Correlations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/gu-2019-improved-zero-shot-neural-machine/)** *(2019 · 162 citations)* Multilingual NMT systems can translate between language pairs never seen together in training (zero-shot translation), but this ability is fragile. ## Co-authors here 4 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Jiatao Gu](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/jiatao-gu/) ×2 - [Kyunghyun Cho](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/kyunghyun-cho/) ×2 - [Victor O.K.
