LSTM encoder-decoder sequence-to-sequence models for Icelandic

This directory contains an LSTM encoder-decoder sequence-to-sequence models, trained for Icelandic g2p. The models were trained using the baseline for the Sigmorphon 2020 Shared task in multilingual g2p, with manually transcribed training data of ~5,800 words per pronunciation variant.

See code for training and evaluation: https://github.com/sigmorphon/2020/tree/master/task1

Fairseq setup

1. With Conda:

conda is recommended for a reproducible environment. Once you have conda installed, create a new conda environment by running this:

conda env create -f environment.yml

The new environment is called "fairseq-lstm". Activate it by running this:

conda activate fairseq-lstm

2. Clone Fairseq and install, see: https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq
