This project allows users to paraphrase Chinese(ZH) and English(EN) sentences through an API.
This paraphraser is powered by a round-trip translation. ZH-EN and EN-ZH machine translation models are trained separately using fairseq, with reference to fairseq's back translation example, with WMT English-Chinese(EN-ZH) translation dataset. The models are then used to paraphrase a sentence by translating it to an intermediate language and back.
