Cross-lingual version [ProphetNet](https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.04063), pretrained on [wiki100 xGLUE dataset](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.01401).  
ProphetNet is a new pre-trained language model for sequence-to-sequence learning with a novel self-supervised objective called future n-gram prediction.  
ProphetNet is able to predict more future tokens with a n-stream decoder. The original implementation is Fairseq version at [github repo](https://github.com/microsoft/ProphetNet).   

xProphetNet is also served as the baseline model for xGLUE cross-lingual natural language generation tasks.  
For xGLUE corss-lingual NLG tasks, xProphetNet is finetuned with English data, but inference with both English and other zero-shot language data.  
### Usage
Please see [the official repository](https://github.com/microsoft/ProphetNet/tree/master/xProphetNet) for details.
