Welcome to the exciting world of Natural Language Processing (NLP) with PORORO! This platform makes it easy to perform a variety of NLP tasks and speech-related processing. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced developer, this guide will equip you with everything you need to start using PORORO effectively.

What is PORORO?

PORORO stands for Platform Of neuRal mOdels for natuRal language prOcessing. Think of it as a supercharged toolbox filled with specialized tools (models) that allow you to solve complex language problems by simply choosing the right tool for the job. It’s like trying to fix a squeaky door with a hammer when all you need is some lubricant; PORORO ensures you have the perfect tool for the task at hand.

Installation Guide

Before diving into usage, you need to install the PORORO library. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

• Ensure that you have torch v1.6 (CUDA 10.1) and Python 3.6 installed on your machine.
• You can install PORORO by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install pororo

• If you want to install it locally, clone the repository and install it:

git clone https://github.com/kakaobrain/pororo.git
cd pororo
pip install -e .

Additional Setup for Speech Tasks

If you want to use Automatic Speech Recognition or Speech Synthesis, you will need to install additional dependencies. For that, simply run:

• For Automatic Speech Recognition:

bash asr-install.sh

• For Speech Synthesis:

bash tts-install.sh

• You can find Speech Synthesis samples here.

Using PORORO: A Quick Start

Once you have installed PORORO, use the following steps to start processing natural language:

• First, import the PORORO library:

from pororo import Pororo

• Check out the tasks available in PORORO:
