establishes key guidelines on how, which and when Machine Translation (MT) techniques are worth applying to RDF-to-Text task. Not only do we apply and compare the most prominent MT architecture, the Transformer, but we also analyze state-of-the-art techniques such as Byte Pair Encoding or Back Translation to demonstrate an improvement in generalization. In addition, we empirically show how to tailor these techniques to enhance models relying on learned embeddings rather than using pretrained ones. Automatic metrics suggest that Back Translation can significantly improve model performance up to 7 BLEU points, hence, opening a window for surpassing state-of-the-art results with appropriate architectures.
