This a model to translate texts to the Erzya language (myv
, cyrillic script) from 11 other languages: ru,fi,de,es,en,hi,zh,tr,uk,fr,ar
. See its demo!
It is described in the paper The first neural machine translation system for the Erzya language.
This model is based on facebook/mbart-large-50, but with updated vocabulary and checkpoint:
- Added an extra language token
myv_XX
and 19K new BPE tokens for the Erzya language; - Fine-tuned to translate from Erzya: first to Russian, then to all 11 languages.
The following code can be used to run translation using the model
from transformers import MBartForConditionalGeneration, MBart50Tokenizer
def fix_tokenizer(tokenizer):
""" Add a new language token to the tokenizer vocabulary (this should be done each time after its initialization) """
old_len = len(tokenizer) - int('myv_XX' in tokenizer.added_tokens_encoder)
tokenizer.lang_code_to_id['myv_XX'] = old_len-1
tokenizer.id_to_lang_code[old_len-1] = 'myv_XX'
tokenizer.fairseq_tokens_to_ids["<mask>"] = len(tokenizer.sp_model) + len(tokenizer.lang_code_to_id) + tokenizer.fairseq_offset
tokenizer.fairseq_tokens_to_ids.update(tokenizer.lang_code_to_id)
tokenizer.fairseq_ids_to_tokens = {v: k for k, v in tokenizer.fairseq_tokens_to_ids.items()}
if 'myv_XX' not in tokenizer._additional_special_tokens:
tokenizer._additional_special_tokens.append('myv_XX')

This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social
visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated)
instead.
