Transformer-based Neural Machine Translation System for Tamil - English

摘要

This paper describes the Machine Translation (MT) system submitted by the NLPRL team lor the Tamil - English Indie 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.
