neural-machine-translation

An LSTM-based Recurrent Neural Network that translates Modern English into Old (Shakespearean) English

Summary

• Encoder-Decoder RNN that takes modern English as input and outputs Old English
• Fronted interface built with Flask to interact with model

Running the project

1. Clone repo
2. Create and activate virtual environment

$cd path/to/NeuralMachineTranslation

$python -m venv project-env
$source project-env/bin/activate

3. Install requirements

$pip install -r requirements.txt

4. From command line, run app using following

$python src/app.py

5. Paste the generated localhost server url into browser

Example: http://127.0.0.1:5000/

Improving the model

1. Modify the RNN's architecture found in: src/nmt.py
2. Finetune the model's hyperparameters in: src/train_model.py
