Do research about who can sponsor buying a powerful computer for our projects. https://lambdalabs.com/gpu-workstations/vector/customize Possible sponsors:

  1. https://www.undp.org/
  2. https://en.unesco.org/

Usage: Train NMT models that are released under public license CC0, the focus is on low resource languages. Current language pair (ab-ru) https://www.kaggle.com/nartaa/abrutemp Grant_CSSP.zip

Update: I applied for a grant at UNDP, waiting for response, the resources also will be directed to enlarge the text corpus.

What about a christian church? They should be interested into fully translating the bible and they should have the money for it. Can you make contact with a local priest?

danielinux7 commented 3 years ago

Sponsorship is needed to buy a powerful computer, this is about > 10,000 $, I don't think the church would be interested in investing such amount to realize a machine translation.

Hello @Haleymiranda79 It will be used to further train the current NMT model (ab-ru language pair), and for more pairs. Next to train STT as well. Nart.

Can Google Colab be used? Helsinki University is also interested in making Translation Software and could help.

Can Google Colab be used?

Yes, but it depends.

What we need is access to GPUs to train NMT models for various NLP tasks. @Plkmoi If you want, you could assign this task to yourself, try and talk to the university, see if they are interested in supporting us.
