Recurrent Neural Networks are a type of Artificial Neural Networks which are adept at dealing with problems which have a temporal aspect to them. These networks exhibit dynamic properties due to their recurrent connections. Most of the advances in deep learning employ some form of Recurrent Neural Networks for their model architecture. RNN's have proven to be an effective technique in applications like computer vision and natural language processing. In this paper, we demonstrate the effectiveness of RNNs for the task of English to Hindi Machine Translation. We perform experiments using different neural network architectures - employing Gated Recurrent Units, Long Short Term Memory Units and Attention Mechanism and report the results for each architecture. Our results show a substantial increase in translation quality over Rule-Based and Statistical Machine Translation approaches.
