Preparing data for the NMT system

In this section, we will understand the data and learn about the process for preparing data for training and predicting from the NMT system. First, we will talk about how to prepare training data (that is, the source sentence and target sentence pairs) to train the NMT system, followed by inputting a given source sentence to produce the translation of the source sentence.

The dataset

The dataset we’ll be using for this chapter is the WMT-14 English-German translation data from https://nlp.stanford.edu/projects/nmt/. There are ~4.5 million sentence pairs available. However, we will use only 250,000 sentence pairs due to computational feasibility. The vocabulary consists of the 50,000 most common English words and the 50,000 most common German words, and words not found in the vocabulary will be replaced with a special token, <unk>. You will need to download the following files:

  • train.de – File containing German...
