Copied to clipboard
| Challenge: | Despite significant similarities between the two written standards, script differences hinder simple one-to-one mapping, hindering written communication and interaction between Tajikistan and its Persian-speaking “siblings”. |
| Approach: | They propose to use a sequence-to-sequence model to convert between two scripts in a Persian-speaking country using two datasets. |
| Outcome: | The proposed model achieves chrF++ and Normalized CER scores of 87.91 and 0.05 from Farsi to Tajik and 92.28 and 0.04 from Tajikistan to Farsis. |
