Abstract:
Deep learning is the current approach in neural machine translation, which requires huge
amount of parallel corpus to produce high-quality translation result. The purpose of the
study is to develop a bidirectional translation of the English Awngi language pairs using
deep learning. Languages need to be translated into other languages to transfer knowledge
between language speakers. The use of computer software used to translate one natural
language into another is called machine translation. We have conducted the experiment
based on LSTM, CNN and Transformer models. Among those models transformer model
achieves a BLEU score of 25.78 & 24.94 from English-Awngi and 23.56 & 22.34 from
Awngi-English from simple and complex sentences respectively.
