Shape of synth to come: Why we should use synthetic data for English surface realization
Table 1: Test set results for baselines trained on the original dataset and the final model which uses synthetic data
['[EMPTY]', 'BLEU-4']
’s implementation of two other baselines, Bohnet et al. (B10) and Puduppully et al. (P16) . Ignoring for now the result with synthetic data, we can see that our system is competitive with that of Yu et al (72.3 vs 72.7). BLEU score on the test set jumps from 72.3 to 80.1. To help understand why additional data makes such a substantial difference, we perform various analyses on the dev set, including examining the effect of the choice of unlabeled corpus and highlighting interesting differences between the systems trained with and without the synthetic data.
