# this sample script preprocesses a sample corpus, including tokenization,
# truecasing, and subword segmentation. 
# for application to a different language pair,
# change source and target prefix, optionally the number of BPE operations,
# and the file names (currently, data/corpus and data/newsdev2016 are being processed)

# in the tokenization step, you will want to remove Romanian-specific normalization / diacritic removal,
# and you may want to add your own.
# also, you may want to learn BPE segmentations separately for each language,
# especially if they differ in their alphabet

# suffix of source language files
SRC=ro

# suffix of target language files
TRG=en

# number of merge operations. Network vocabulary should be slightly larger (to include characters),
# or smaller if the operations are learned on the joint vocabulary
bpe_operations=89500
