This model is part of the [OPUS-MT project](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT), an effort to make neural machine translation models widely available and accessible for many languages in the world. All models are originally trained using the amazing framework of [Marian NMT](https://marian-nmt.github.io/), an efficient NMT implementation written in pure C++. The models have been converted to pyTorch using the transformers library by huggingface. Training data is taken from [OPUS](https://opus.nlpl.eu/) and training pipelines use the procedures of [OPUS-MT-train](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT-train). * Publications: [OPUS-MT – Building open translation services for the World](https://aclanthology.org/2020.eamt-1.61/) and [The Tatoeba Translation Challenge – Realistic Data Sets for Low Resource and Multilingual MT](https://aclanthology.org/2020.wmt-1.139/) (Please, cite if you use this model.) ``` @inproceedings{tiedemann-thottingal-2020-opus, title = "{OPUS}-{MT} {--} Building open translation services for the World", author = {Tiedemann, J{\"o}rg and Thottingal, Santhosh}, booktitle = "Proceedings of the 22nd Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation", month = nov, year = "2020", address = "Lisboa, Portugal", publisher = "European Association for Machine Translation", url = "https://aclanthology.org/2020.eamt-1.61", pages = "479--480", } @inproceedings{tiedemann-2020-tatoeba, title = "The Tatoeba Translation Challenge {--} Realistic Data Sets for Low Resource and Multilingual {MT}", author = {Tiedemann, J{\"o}rg}, booktitle = "Proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Machine Translation", month = nov, year = "2020", address = "Online", publisher = "Association for Computational Linguistics", url = "https://aclanthology.org/2020.wmt-1.139", pages = "1174--1182", } ``` ## Model info * Release: 2022-03-23 * source language(s): fra * target language(s): bel rus ukr * valid target language labels: >>bel<< >>rus<< >>ukr<< * model: transformer-big * data: opusTCv20210807 ([source](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge)) * tokenization: SentencePiece (spm32k,spm32k) * original model: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-23.zip](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/fra-zle/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-23.zip) * more information released models: [OPUS-MT fra-zle README](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge/tree/master/models/fra-zle/README.md) * more information about the model: [MarianMT](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/marian) This is a multilingual translation model with multiple target languages. A sentence initial language token is required in the form of `>>id<<` (id = valid target language ID), e.g. `>>bel<<` ## Usage A short example code: ```python from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer src_text = [ ">>rus<< Ils ont acheté un très bon appareil photo.", ">>ukr<< Il s'est soudain mis à pleuvoir." ] model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-big-fr-zle" tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name) model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained(model_name) translated = model.generate(**tokenizer(src_text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)) for t in translated: print( tokenizer.decode(t, skip_special_tokens=True) ) # expected output: # Они купили очень хорошую камеру. # Раптом почався дощ. ``` You can also use OPUS-MT models with the transformers pipelines, for example: ```python from transformers import pipeline pipe = pipeline("translation", model="Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-tc-big-fr-zle") print(pipe(">>rus<< Ils ont acheté un très bon appareil photo.")) # expected output: Они купили очень хорошую камеру. ``` ## Benchmarks * test set translations: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-23.test.txt](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/fra-zle/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-23.test.txt) * test set scores: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-23.eval.txt](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/fra-zle/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-23.eval.txt) * benchmark results: [benchmark_results.txt](benchmark_results.txt) * benchmark output: [benchmark_translations.zip](benchmark_translations.zip) | langpair | testset | chr-F | BLEU | #sent | #words | |----------|---------|-------|-------|-------|--------| | fra-bel | tatoeba-test-v2021-08-07 | 0.52711 | 31.1 | 283 | 1703 | | fra-rus | tatoeba-test-v2021-08-07 | 0.66502 | 46.1 | 11490 | 70123 | | fra-ukr | tatoeba-test-v2021-08-07 | 0.61860 | 39.9 | 10035 | 54372 | | fra-rus | flores101-devtest | 0.54106 | 25.8 | 1012 | 23295 | | fra-ukr | flores101-devtest | 0.52733 | 23.1 | 1012 | 22810 | | fra-rus | newstest2012 | 0.51254 | 23.1 | 3003 | 64790 | | fra-rus | newstest2013 | 0.52342 | 24.8 | 3000 | 58560 | ## Acknowledgements The work is supported by the [European Language Grid](https://www.european-language-grid.eu/) as [pilot project 2866](https://live.european-language-grid.eu/catalogue/#/resource/projects/2866), by the [FoTran project](https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/natural-language-understanding-with-cross-lingual-grounding), funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 771113), and the [MeMAD project](https://memad.eu/), funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No 780069.
