We present a non-autoregressive system submission to the WMT 22 Efficient Translation Shared Task. Our system was used by Helcl et al. (2022) in an attempt to provide fair comparison between non-autoregressive and autoregressive models. This submission is an effort to establish solid baselines along with sound evaluation methodology, particularly in terms of measuring the decoding speed. The model itself is a 12-layer Transformer model trained with connectionist temporal classification on knowledge-distilled dataset by a strong autoregressive teacher model.
