About The Project

Logo

This project aims to develop a machine translation system for translating French text into English. The system utilizes state-of-the-art neural network architectures and techniques in natural language processing (NLP) to accurately translate French sentences into their corresponding English equivalents.

Usage

Dataset

Dataset is from "https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/devicharith/language-translation-englishfrench" which contains 2 columns where one column has english words/sentences and the other one has french words/sentence

Model Architecture

The model architecture consists of an Encoder-Decoder Long Short-Term Memory network with an embedding layer. It was built on a Neural Machine Translation architecture where sequence-to-sequence framework with attention mechanisms was applied.

Data Preparation

  • The parallel corpus containing French and English sentences is preprocessed.
  • Text is tokenized and converted into numerical representations suitable for input to the neural network.

Model Training

  • The sequence-to-sequence model is constructed, comprising an encoder and decoder.

  • Training data is fed into the model, and parameters are optimized using backpropagation and gradient descent algorithms.

    def create_model(src_vocab, tar_vocab, src_timesteps, tar_timesteps, n_units):
      # Create the model
      model = Sequential()
      model.add(Embedding(src_vocab_size, n_units, input_length=src_length, mask_zero=True))
      model.add(LSTM(n_units))
      model.add(RepeatVector(tar_timesteps))
      model.add(LSTM(n_units, return_sequences=True))
      model.add(TimeDistributed(Dense(tar_vocab, activation='softmax')))
      return model
    
    model = create_model(src_vocab_size, tar_vocab_size, src_length, tar_length, 256)
    model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='categorical_crossentropy')
    
    history = model.fit(trainX,
              trainY,
              epochs=20,
              batch_size=64,
              validation_split=0.1,
              verbose=1,
              callbacks=[
                            EarlyStopping(
                            monitor='val_loss',
                            patience=10,
                            restore_best_weights=True
                        )
                ])
    
    Logo

Model Evaluation

  • The trained model is evaluated on the test set to measure its accuracy.

  • Metrics such as BLEU score has been used to quantify the quality of translations.

    Logo Logo

Deployment

  • Gradio is utilized for deploying the trained model.

  • Users can input a French text, and the model will translate it to English.
