Can Tensor2Tensor Export to Ctranslate2 Format?

[scotfang]

Hi,

Wasn't able to find great information on this, but do you know if https://github.com/tensorflow/tensor2tensor#translation supports exporting to Ctranslate2 format?

Thanks! --Scot

Hi,

Currently there is no converter for Tensor2Tensor, but it should not be too complicated to add one. Contributions are welcome.

I’m really interested to this as well…

Hello, What's required to support tensor2tensor? I can work out the code details

A converter should be added to load and register weights from a T2T checkpoint. You can explore how existing converters are defined: https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2/tree/master/python/ctranslate2/converters

The tensor2tensor repository is now archived so we are not adding an "official" converter.

However, it is still possible to write your own converter using the existing ones as examples.
