TURJUMAN, a neural toolkit for translating from 20 languages into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA).

Turjuman, a neural toolkit for translating from 20 languages into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) that described in our OSACT5 2022 paper “TURJUMAN: A Public Toolkit for Neural Arabic Machine Translation”.

TURJUMAN exploits the recently-introduced our text-to-text Transformer AraT5 model , endowing it with a powerful ability to decode into Arabic. The toolkit offers the possibility of employing a number of diverse decoding methods, making it suited for acquiring paraphrases for the MSA translations as an added value. To train TURJUMAN, we sample from publicly available parallel data employing a simple semantic similarity method to ensure data quality.
