ReproduceAbstract
In this article, we describe the TALP-UPC participation in the WMT20 news translation shared task for Tamil-English. Given the low amount of parallel training data, we resort to adapt the task to a multilingual system to benefit from the positive transfer from high resource languages. We use iterative backtranslation to fine-tune the system and benefit from the monolingual data available. In order to measure the effectivity of such methods, we compare our results to a bilingual baseline system.
