Using monolingual data in Neural Machine Translation

Modern machine translation rests on the availability of appropriate parallel corpora, which are scarce and costly to accumulate. Monolingual corpora are much easier to get, and can be easily integrated into Statistical Machine Translation systems, where they have shown to be of great help. The issue is slightly different in Neural Machine Translation (NMT) , and how to take advantage of these resources is still the subject to discussions. In this talk, I will try to summarize a series of recent papers on this topic and comment on the current state of the debate. This will also give me the opportunity to discuss research in NMT in more general terms. This has been conducted jointly with Franck Burlot.
