Arabic to English Translation using Encoder-Decoder Sequence-to-Sequence Model

1. Install PyTorch from https://pytorch.org/get-started/locally/ (default below) and other dependencies

    $ pip install torch torchvision matplotlib
   

2. [Optional] Install latest PyTorch-NLP if using attention

    $ pip install git+https://github.com/PetrochukM/PyTorch-NLP
   

3. Run train.py

    $ python train.py -h
    usage: train.py [-h] [-data DATA] [-embeddings_size EMBEDDINGS_SIZE]
                [-layers LAYERS] [-hidden_sizes HIDDEN_SIZES]

                [-bidirectional] [-attention {dot,general}]
   

Main script, loads the dataset and trains the model. Plots both the training losses and validation accuracies and returns the final test accuracy.

Encoder-Decoder model implemented in PyTorch. Also contains the training and evaluation utilities.
