NLPRL at WAT2019: Transformer-based Tamil – English Indic Task Neural Machine Translation System
Amit Kumar, Anil Kumar Singh · 2019
This paper describes the Machine Translation (MT) system submitted by the NLPRL team for the Tamil -English Indic Task at WAT 2019.We presented the Neural Machine Translation (NMT) system based on the Transformer approach.Training and performance of the model are evaluated on the En-Tam corpus (An English-Tamil Parallel Corpus) collected by researchers at UFAL (Institute of Formal and Applied Linguistics).The evaluation of the model done using Adequacy, BLEU, RIBES, and AM-FM scores, and the model improves translation in terms of Adequacy, RIBES and AM-FM as compared to the baseline.
