Neural Machine Translation Between English and Turkish with pre-trained model releases

Neural Machine Translation Between English and Turkish

Gorkem Ozkaya

This repo contains a pair of NMT models between English and Turkish (in both directions). One can download the pre-trained models from the releases section and use the below Jupyter/Colab notebooks in the root directory as a reference for downloading and running the pre-trained models.

• TF1 version:
• TF2 version:

Interactive demos for the TF2 version of the models are available on HuggingFace 🤗 Spaces:

• Turkish -> English
• English -> Turkish

The models are trained on Google Cloud TPU's using the tensor2tensor library for the TF1 version, and with TensorFlow's official models library for the TF2 version. As the neural network architechture, the Transformer architecture is used with the transformer_tpu hyperparameter configuration.
