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:
- Efficient pure C++ implementation
- Fast multi-GPU training and GPU/CPU translation
- State-of-the-art NMT architectures: deep RNN and transformer
- Permissive open source license (MIT)

The handwritten decoder for RNN models compatible with Marian and Nematus has been superseded by the Marian decoder. The code is available in a separate repository: https://github.com/marian-nmt/amun
