• Neural Machine Translation by Jointly Learning to Align and Translate

  29,013 citations

• A neural machine translation model is proposed that jointly learns to align and translate by replacing the fixed-length vector bottleneck in the basic encoder-decoder architecture with a soft alignment mechanism.
• Qualitative analysis suggests that the learned soft alignments agree well with intuition.

• No direct concept-to-concept edges are published yet.
