The multilingual neural machine translation (MNMT) enables arbitrary translations across multiple languages by training a model with limited parameters using parallel data only. However, the performance of such MNMT models still lags behind that large language (LLMs), limiting their practicality. In this work, we address limitation introducing registering to achieve new state-of-the-art decoder-only models. Specifically, insert set artificial tokens specifying target language, called...

Existing multilingual neural machine translation (MNMT) approaches mainly focus on improving models with the encoder-decoder architecture to translate multiple languages. However, decoder-only has been explored less in MNMT due its underperformance when trained parallel data solely. In this work, we attribute issue of lack language transfer capability. Specifically, is insufficient encoding source tokens target features. We propose dividing decoding process into two stages so that are...

Summary Raft is a consensus algorithm that implements highly available replicas. As raft requires leader to drive the protocol execution, it usually employs round‐robin election mechanism select random among all nodes. However, when elected suffers from performance issues, will temporarily lose aliveness. To address this issue, we propose multi‐strategy allows nodes proactively trigger new round of they believe and replace with one in designated priority queue. The formal analysis...

Both silicon and germanium are very interesting materials for mid-infrared applications, particularly sensing, due to their low material losses at long wavelengths. Silicon is loss up 8 μm, 15 μm [1]. To fully exploit these wavelength transmission ranges of Si Ge, build Ge photonic circuits, cladding need have the same or larger than Ge.

Multilingual neural machine translation can translate unseen language pairs during training, i.e. zero-shot translation. However, the is always unstable. Although prior works attributed instability to domination of central language, e.g. English, we supplement this viewpoint with strict dependence non-centered languages. In work, propose a simple, lightweight yet effective language-specific modeling method by adapting languages and combining shared information counteract Experiments...
