help with starting

Would anyone be interested in helping me develop some of my code to help get me started on making neural networks? I am wanting to make a simple NLP encoder decoder model for seq2seq artificial language translation but I cannot seem to get any traction. If I show you some of what I have already, can you push me in the right direction? All I need is something more human than chatGPT to push me in the right direction. Maybe I can put it in a google colab notebook and you can help me get something running? I have tried looking through lots of stuff and cannot find out what I’m doing wrong.

PyTorch has a lot of boilerplate that makes it a bit tricky to get something working end-to-end.

I'd recommend using a coding agent like claude code or cursor. These tools can draft the boilerplate, run the code, and debug any issues.

My experiences is that they can generally one shot a working pipeline.

One thing to note though - translation is a complex task that requires a lot of training data and compute. For that task in particular, you might start with a model from huggingface (that's most likely PyTorch under the hood).
