OpenNMT: Open-Source Neural Machine Translation

OpenNMT is a full-featured, open-source (MIT) neural machine translation system utilizing the Torch mathematical toolkit.

The system is designed to be simple to use and easy to extend, while maintaining efficiency and state-of-the-art translation accuracy. Features include:

  • Speed and memory optimizations for high-performance GPU training.
  • Simple general-purpose interface, only requires and source/target data files.
  • C++ implementation of the translator for easy deployment.
  • Extensions to allow other sequence generation tasks such as summarization and image captioning.

Installation

OpenNMT only requires a Torch installation with few dependencies.

  1. Install Torch
  2. Install additional packages:
luarocks install tds
luarocks install bit32 # if using LuaJIT

For other installation methods including Docker, visit the documentation.

Quickstart

OpenNMT consists of three commands:

  1. Preprocess the data.
th preprocess.lua -train_src data/src-train.txt -train_tgt data/tgt-train.txt -valid_src data/src-val.txt -valid_tgt data/tgt-val.txt -save_data data/demo
  1. Train the model.
th train.lua -data data/demo-train.t7 -save_model model
  1. Translate sentences.
th translate.lua -model model_final.t7 -src data/src-test.txt -output pred.txt

For more details, visit the documentation.
