Marian is an efficient Neural Machine Translation framework written in pure C++ with minimal dependencies.

Named in honour of Marian Rejewski, a Polish mathematician and cryptologist.

Main features:

• Fast multi-gpu training and translation
• Compatible with Nematus and DL4MT
• Efficient pure C++ implementation
• Permissive open source license (MIT)
