## Model Details

Neural machine translation model for translating from North Germanic languages (gmq) to Turkish (tr).

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)

## 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 = [
    "Aftensmaden dufter lækkert.",
    "Vi ser vad som händer tillsammans."
]

model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-big-gmq-tr"
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:
#     Akşam yemeği çok güzel kokuyor.
#     Birlikte bakalım neler olacak.
```

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-gmq-tr")
print(pipe("Aftensmaden dufter lækkert."))

# expected output: Akşam yemeği çok güzel kokuyor.
```
