Title: The Helsinki Neural Machine Translation System,
Abstract: We introduce the Helsinki Neural Machine Translation system (HNMT) and how it
is applied in the news translation task at WMT 2017, where it ranked first in
both the human and automatic evaluations for English--Finnish. We discuss the
success of English--Finnish translations and the overall advantage of NMT over
a strong SMT baseline. We also discuss our submissions for English--Latvian,
English--Chinese and Chinese--English.
