The SKIM team’s submission used a standard procedure to build ensemble Transformer models, including base-model training, back-translation of base models for data augmentation, and retraining of several final models using back-translated training data. Each final model had its own architecture and configuration, including up to 10.5B parameters, and substituted self- and cross-sublayers in the decoder with a cross+self-attention sub-layer. We selected the best candidate from a large candidate pool, namely 70 translations generated from 13 distinct models for each sentence, using an MBR reranking method using COMET and COMET-QE. We also applied data augmentation and selection techniques to the training data of the Transformer models.
