EN-DE parent ➜ EN-NL fine-tuned on creative corpus

Authors: Niek Holter
Thesis: “Transferring Creativity”

Summary

This model starts from Helsinki-NLP’s MarianMT opus-mt-en-fr and is fine-tuned on a 10k-sentence creative English–Dutch corpus (fiction + subtitles).
It is one of four systems trained for my bachelor’s thesis to study how transfer-learning settings affect MT creativity.
