Unsupervised Machine Translation #11

A method for unsupervised machine translation that supposedly can work well for low-resource languages. This still sort of seems like black magic to me.

The authors implement two methods: one which uses a neural network, and one which does not. The non-neural method is probably even better for small corpora.

There still probably is nowhere near enough data to do this.
