We observe that the development cross-entropy loss of supervised neural machine
translation models scales like a power law with the amount of training data and the number
of non-embedding parameters in the model. We discuss some practical implications of these
results, such as predicting BLEU achieved by large scale models and predicting the ROI of
labeling data in low-resource language pairs.
