Arabic ↔ Latin transliteration of Maghrebi names, Algerian-first. This repo hosts the binary assets for the
DziriNames project:
The models are 5.55M-parameter seq2seq transformers (d_model 256, 3 layers, fp32, CPU-only, ~322 ms median per generated name). The system is retrieval-first: the index answers when it can, the model only handles unseen names.
