# text2gloss_ar

This model is a fine-tuned version of [Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-ar](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-ar) on the None dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.0306
- Word Bleu: 97.0831
- Char Bleu: 98.9391

## Model description

- Source: Text (spoken text)
- Target: gloss (ArSL gloss)
- Domain: ArSL Friday sermon translation from text to gloss
We used a pre-trained model (apus_mt) for domain specification. 

## Intended uses & limitations

- Data Specificity: The model is trained specifically on Arabic text and ArSL glosses. It may not perform well when applied to other languages or sign languages.

- Contextual Accuracy: While the model handles straightforward translations effectively, it might struggle with complex sentences or phrases that require a deep understanding of context, especially when combining or shuffling sentences.

- Generalization to Unseen Data: The model’s performance may degrade when exposed to text that significantly differs in style or content from the training data, such as highly specialized jargon or informal language.

- Gloss Representation: The model translates text into glosses, which are a written representation of sign language but do not capture the full complexity of sign language grammar and non-manual signals (facial expressions, body language).

- Test Dataset Limitations: The test dataset used is a shortened version of a sermon that does not cover all possible sentence structures and contexts, which may limit the model’s ability to generalize to other domains.

- Ethical Considerations: Care must be taken when deploying this model in real-world applications, as misinterpretations or inaccuracies in translation can lead to misunderstandings, especially in sensitive communications.
