IndicBART

IndicBART is a pretrained sequence-to-sequence model based on the mBART architecture. It covers English and 11 Indian languages.

Script conversion is part of the input pipeline

The model uses text-infilling pretraining. Non-Devanagari input needs script mapping before generation and conversion back afterward. It is a foundation for task-specific fine-tuning.IndicBART official model card

Compare preprocessing together with model quality

Practical guidance. A script-mapping error can look like a generation failure. Keep round-trip conversion in any language evaluation.
