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: 2022-03-19 * source language(s): bel rus ukr * target language(s): ita * model: transformer-big * data: opusTCv20210807 ([source](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge)) * tokenization: SentencePiece (spm32k,spm32k) * original model: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-19.zip](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/zle-ita/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-19.zip) * more information released models: [OPUS-MT zle-ita README](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge/tree/master/models/zle-ita/README.md) ## Usage A short example code: ```python from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer src_text = [ "Вони не ідіоти.", "Я не хочу идти в банк." ] model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-big-zle-it" 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: # Non sono idioti. # Non voglio andare in banca. ``` 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-zle-it") print(pipe("Вони не ідіоти.")) # expected output: Non sono idioti. ``` ## Benchmarks * test set translations: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-19.test.txt](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/zle-ita/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-19.test.txt) * test set scores: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-19.eval.txt](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/zle-ita/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-03-19.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 | |----------|---------|-------|-------|-------|--------| | bel-ita | tatoeba-test-v2021-08-07 | 0.65945 | 49.3 | 264 | 1681 | | rus-ita | tatoeba-test-v2021-08-07 | 0.64037 | 43.5 | 10045 | 71584 | | ukr-ita | tatoeba-test-v2021-08-07 | 0.69570 | 50.0 | 5000 | 27846 | | bel-ita | flores101-devtest | 0.46311 | 13.5 | 1012 | 27306 | | rus-ita | flores101-devtest | 0.53054 | 23.7 | 1012 | 27306 | | ukr-ita | flores101-devtest | 0.52783 | 23.2 | 1012 | 27306 | ## 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.
