Chunk-Based Bi-Scaled Decoder for Neural Machine Translation

---

This is the code for paper "Chunk-Based Bi-Scaled Decoder for Neural Machine Translation".

The chunk-based neural machine translation system is on basis of session 2 of dl4mt-tutorial, which is a attention based encoder-decoder machine translation model.

The main difference between our proposed model and dl4mt is that we use a bi-scaled decoder to leverage the target-side phrase information for better translation, and propose the phrase attention for phrase level soft alignments.
