# Model Card for fr_en-t5-large

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This model has been optimized for French and English language processing while minimizing overall size. To achieve this, I only retained relevant parameters and tokens specific to these two languages, ensuring that performance remains as good as the original mt5.

## Model Details
I used a method outlined in a [blog post](https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-adapt-a-multilingual-t5-model-for-a-single-language-b9f94f3d9c90) by David Dale to downsize the multilingual T5 model for French and English use cases specifically. By utilizing the giga_fren dataset, I was able to successfully reduce the total number of tokens and decrease both the model and tokenizer sizes by 38% and 80% respectively.

### Model Description

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->
You can use the raw model for any sequence to sequence task that is focused on either french, english or both.


## How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.
```
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Korventenn/fr_en-t5-large")

model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("Korventenn/fr_en-t5-large")
```

### Training Data
