**Model Description** 

OpenNMT model for English-Galician using a transformer architecture. 

**How to translate**

+ Open bash terminal
+ Install [Python 3.9](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-390/)
+ Install [Open NMT toolkit v.2.2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/OpenNMT-py)
+ Translate an input_text using the NOS-MT-en-gl model with the following command:

```bash 
onmt_translate -src input_text聽-model NOS-MT-en-gl -output ./output_file.txt -replace_unk -gpu 0
```
+ The result of the translation will be in the PATH indicated by the -output flag.

**Training**

In the training we have used authentic and synthetic corpora from [ProxectoN贸s](https://github.com/proxectonos/corpora). The former are corpora of translations directly produced by human translators. The latter are corpora of English-Portuguese translations, which we have converted into English-Galician by means of Portuguese-Galician translation with Opentrad/Apertium and transliteration for out-of-vocabulary words. 

**Training process**

+ Tokenization of the datasets made with linguakit tokeniser https://github.com/citiususc/Linguakit
+ The vocabulary for the models was generated through the script [learn_bpe.py](https://github.com/OpenNMT/OpenNMT-py/blob/master/tools/learn_bpe.py) of OpenNMT
+ Using .yaml in this repository you can replicate the training process as follows

```bash 
onmt_build_vocab -config  bpe-en-gl_emb.yaml -n_sample 100000
onmt_train -config bpe-en-gl_emb.yaml
```

**Hyper-parameters** 

The parameters used for the development of the model can be directly consulted in the same .yaml file bpe-en-gl_emb.yaml 

**Evaluation** 

The BLEU evaluation of the models is made with a mixture of internally developed tests (gold1, gold2, test-suite) and other datasets available in Galician (Flores).

| GOLD 1        | GOLD 2        | FLORES  | TEST-SUITE|
| ------------- |:-------------:| -------:|----------:| 
| 36.8          | 47.1          | 32.3    | 42.7      |
