* licence: apache-2.0
* dataset: Opus, CCmatrix
* model: transformer(fairseq)
* pre-processing: tokenization + BPE segmentation
* metrics: bleu, chrf

### Model description

Trained using the Fairseq framework, transformer_iwslt_de_en architecture.\\
BPE segmentation (20k codes).\\
Mixed-case model. 

### How to use

```
from transformers import FSMTTokenizer, FSMTForConditionalGeneration

mname = "lighteternal/SSE-TUC-mt-en-el-cased"

tokenizer = FSMTTokenizer.from_pretrained(mname)
model = FSMTForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(mname)

text = " 'Katerina', is the best name for a girl."

encoded = tokenizer.encode(text, return_tensors='pt')

outputs = model.generate(encoded, num_beams=5, num_return_sequences=5, early_stopping=True)
for i, output in enumerate(outputs):
    i += 1
    print(f"{i}: {output.tolist()}")
    
    decoded = tokenizer.decode(output, skip_special_tokens=True)
    print(f"{i}: {decoded}")
```


## Training data

Consolidated corpus from Opus and CC-Matrix (~6.6GB in total)
