This paper describes our submission to the WMT20 sentence filtering task. We combine scores from (1) a custom LASER built for each source language, (2) a classifier built to distinguish positive and negative pairs by semantic alignment, and (3) the original scores included in the task devkit. For the mBART finetuning setup, provided by the organizers, our method shows 7 relative improvement over baseline, in sacreBLEU score on the test set for Pashto and Khmer respectively.
