Neural machine translation achieves good translation results on resource-rich languages, but due to data scarcity, it performs poorly on low-resource language pairs such as Chinese-Vietnamese. At present, one of the most effective ways to alleviate this problem is to use existing resources to generate pseudo-parallel data. Considering the availability of monolingual data, based on the back-translation method, firstly the language model trained by a large amount of monolingual data was fused with the neural machine translation model. Then, the language features were integrated into the language model in the back-translation process to generate more standardized and better quality pseudo-parallel data. Finally, the generated corpus was added to the original small-scale corpus to train the final translation model. Experimental results on the Chinese-Vietnamese translation tasks show that compared with the ordinary back-translation methods, the Chinese-Vietnamese neural machine translation has the BiLingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) value improved by 1.41 percentage points by fusing the pseudo-parallel data generated by the language model.
