PyTorch Seq2Seq: Joke2Punchline, Punchline2Joke, and English<>French

PyTorch implementation of the sequence-to-sequence neural network model with attention. Includes pre-trained models for:

• joke2punchline: Given a question-format joke, output a generated punchline.
• punchline2joke: Given a punchline, output a generated question-format joke.
• eng<>fra: Given a French sentence, output its English translation, or vice versa.

See blog posts on seq2seq language translation and for joke2punchline and punchline2joke (contains more examples!).
