ByT5 Greeklish to Greek Conversion Model

Model Overview

This model is a finetuned version of the ByT5 transformer model specifically trained to convert Greeklish (Greek written with Latin characters) to Greek (Greek written with Greek characters). The base model, ByT5, is a variant of the T5 model that operates directly on byte sequences, making it particularly well-suited for tasks involving text written in non-standard forms or using non-standard characters.
