https://github.com/mt-empty/assyrian-translation-model
This is an English to Assyrian/Eastern Syriac machine translation model, it uses [English to Arabic](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-ar) model as the base model.
Although the project aim is to Build a English to Assyrian - the ones that fall under [Northeastern Neo-Aramaic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeastern_Neo-Aramaic) - the current model mostly provides translation for Classical Syriac. This model is a good initial step, but I hope future work will make it more inline with Assyrian dialects.
