Description

The current "Alignment Enhanced" architecture that is implemented in silnlp. This architecture requires already aligned data to train on. It would be better if there was an architecture that could learn to align in an unsupervised manner. See https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.14675.

Research direction

Start by reading the current "Alignment Enhanced" architecture in silnlp and the paper at https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.14675. Compare their requirements for aligned data and unsupervised alignment, then define what evidence would show that the new architecture jointly learns translation and alignment without supervision.
