+# ar-seq2seq-gender (decoder)
+
+This is a seq2seq model (decoder half) to "flip" gender in **first-person** Arabic sentences.
+The model can augment your existing Arabic data, or generate counterfactuals
+to test a model's decisions (would changing the gender of the subject or speaker change output?).
+
+Intended Examples:
+- 'أنا سعيد' <=> 'انا سعيدة'
+- 'ركض إلى المتجر' <=> 'ركضت إلى المتجر'
+
+People's names, gender pronouns, gendered words (father, mother), and many other values are currently unchanged by this model. Future versions may be trained on more data.
+
+## Training
+
+I originally developed
+<a href="https://github.com/MonsoonNLP/el-la">a gender flip Python script</a>
+for Spanish sentences, using
+<a href="https://huggingface.co/dccuchile/bert-base-spanish-wwm-uncased">BETO</a>,
+and spaCy. More about this project: https://medium.com/ai-in-plain-english/gender-bias-in-spanish-bert-1f4d76780617
+
+The Arabic model encoder and decoder started with weights and vocabulary from
+<a href="https://github.com/UBC-NLP/marbert">MARBERT from UBC-NLP</a>,
+and was trained on the
+<a href="https://camel.abudhabi.nyu.edu/arabic-parallel-gender-corpus/">Arabic Parallel Gender Corpus</a>
+from NYU Abu Dhabi. The text is first-person sentences from OpenSubtitles, with parallel
+gender-reinflected sentences generated by Arabic speakers.

+
+## Non-binary gender
+
+This model is useful to generate male and female text samples, but falls
+short of capturing gender diversity in the world and in the Arabic
+language. This subject is discussed in the bias statement of the
+<a href="https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.gebnlp-1.12/">Gender Reinflection paper</a>.
