Description

Thanks much for making this machine translation work openly available.
We have used the same config.yaml file as the one used in argos-train in order to train a model for English-Persian translation. After 30,000 epochs, the accuracy reaches 75 percent (as per OpenNMT logs), but when testing the model using onmt_translate, we get an accuracy of 30 percent (many words are translated as unknown). Here is the content of config.yaml file

Research direction

Start with the linked argos-train config.yml and compare its training settings with the onmt_translate invocation described in the issue. Reproduce the English-Persian run and inspect the OpenNMT logs and translation output; the work is done when the accuracy discrepancy and unknown-word output are explained and the required configuration or usage is identified.
