fairseq-lua is the original Lua/Torch7 version of Facebook AI Research’s sequence modeling toolkit, designed for neural machine translation (NMT) and sequence generation. It introduced early attention-based architectures and training pipelines that later evolved into the modern PyTorch-based fairseq. The framework implements sequence-to-sequence models with attention, beam search decoding, and distributed training, providing a research platform for exploring translation, summarization, and language modeling. Its modular design made it easy to prototype new architectures by modifying encoders, decoders, or attention mechanisms. Although now deprecated in favor of the PyTorch rewrite, fairseq-lua played a key role in advancing large-scale NMT systems, such as early versions of Facebook’s production translation models. ...
