Modern translation actually doesn't use labels much, it uses structural alignment. I'm more concerned with how to make a comparable "corpus" to human languages.

- throwaway1851 4y agoWell, there’s an implicit label, isn’t there? Translation models are shown pairs of texts in two languages, so the implicit label is “these two texts are saying the same thing”. Won’t you always need some form of supervision to learn the mapping from one domain to another?
- janalsncm 4y agoYes the canonical examples are called parallel corpuses. Sentence pairs of (english_sentence, french_sentence). Because we don’t know what dolphins are saying in the first place, there’s no way to generate a parallel corpus.
