## Model Details
Neural machine translation model for translating from Basque (eu) to Italic languages (itc).
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).
**Model Description:**
- **Developed by:** Language Technology Research Group at the University of Helsinki
- **Model Type:** Translation (transformer-big)
- **Release**: 2022-07-23
- **License:** CC-BY-4.0
- **Language(s):**
- Source Language(s): eus
- Target Language(s): fra ita spa
- Language Pair(s): eus-spa
- Valid Target Language Labels: >>acf<< >>aoa<< >>arg<< >>ast<< >>cat<< >>cbk<< >>ccd<< >>cks<< >>cos<< >>cri<< >>crs<< >>dlm<< >>drc<< >>egl<< >>ext<< >>fab<< >>fax<< >>fra<< >>frc<< >>frm<< >>fro<< >>frp<< >>fur<< >>gcf<< >>gcr<< >>glg<< >>hat<< >>idb<< >>ist<< >>ita<< >>itk<< >>kea<< >>kmv<< >>lad<< >>lat<< >>lat_Latn<< >>lij<< >>lld<< >>lmo<< >>lou<< >>mcm<< >>mfe<< >>mwl<< >>mxi<< >>mzs<< >>nap<< >>nrf<< >>oci<< >>osc<< >>osp<< >>pap<< >>pcd<< >>pln<< >>pms<< >>pob<< >>por<< >>pov<< >>pre<< >>pro<< >>qbb<< >>qhr<< >>rcf<< >>rgn<< >>roh<< >>ron<< >>ruo<< >>rup<< >>ruq<< >>scf<< >>scn<< >>sdc<< >>sdn<< >>spa<< >>spq<< >>spx<< >>src<< >>srd<< >>sro<< >>tmg<< >>tvy<< >>vec<< >>vkp<< >>wln<< >>xfa<< >>xum<<

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. `>>fra<<`
## Uses
This model can be used for translation and text-to-text generation.
## Risks, Limitations and Biases
**CONTENT WARNING: Readers should be aware that the model is trained on various public data sets that may contain content that is disturbing, offensive, and can propagate historical and current stereotypes.**
Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)).
## How to Get Started With the Model
A short example code:
```python
from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer
src_text = [
">>fra<< Aberatsa da.",
">>spa<< Zuzena?"
]
model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-big-eu-itc"
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:
# Il est riche.
# ¿Directo?
```
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-eu-itc")
print(pipe(">>fra<< Aberatsa da."))
# expected output: Il est riche.
```
