OpenSeq2Seq is a TensorFlow-based toolkit for building and training sequence-to-sequence models for neural machine translation, speech recognition, speech synthesis, and language modeling. It emphasizes efficient experimentation through distributed multi-GPU/multi-node training and mixed-precision (FP16) support on NVIDIA GPUs.

Use cases

• train a neural machine translation model with multi-GPU distributed training
• build an automatic speech recognition system with seq2seq models
• experiment with text-to-speech / speech synthesis models
• train language models with mixed-precision FP16 on Volta/Turing GPUs
• run sentiment analysis NLP experiments with encoder-decoder models
• scale seq2seq training across multiple nodes with Horovod

When to choose

• you need a research toolkit for seq2seq models in TensorFlow 1.x
• you want mixed-precision and multi-GPU/multi-node training for NLP or speech models
• you are reproducing experiments from the OpenSeq2Seq paper

When to avoid

• you use TensorFlow 2.x or PyTorch — the project is unmaintained and tied to TF 1.x
• you need production-ready speech or translation systems rather than research experimentation
• you want actively maintained tooling — consider NeMo or Fairseq instead
