## How to Use |
|
|
|
All models are [Fairseq](https://github.com/facebookresearch/fairseq) models. Each directory contains the best checkpoint (in the ./checkpoints/mt_en directory). The dictionaries are kept in the ./data_out/mt_en directory. The sentencepiece model and vocabulary can be found in the ./models/mt_en directory. |
|
|
|
To use the models, we guide users to the [Fairseq documentation](https://fairseq.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started.html). |
