Additionally, the model is evaluated on several public datasets, Flores 101, Spanish Constitutioni (TaCon) and Tatoeba. ## Intended uses and limitations You can use this model for machine translation from Spanish to Galician. ## How to use ### Usage Required libraries: ```bash pip install ctranslate2 pyonmttok ``` Translate a sentence using python ```python import ctranslate2 import pyonmttok from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download model_dir = snapshot_download(repo_id="PlanTL-GOB-ES/mt-plantl-es-gl", revision="main") tokenizer=pyonmttok.Tokenizer(mode="none", sp_model_path = model_dir + "/spm.model") tokenized=tokenizer.tokenize("Bienvenido al Proyecto PlanTL!") translator = ctranslate2.Translator(model_dir) translated = translator.translate_batch([tokenized[0]]) print(tokenizer.detokenize(translated[0][0]['tokens'])) ``` ## Training ### Training data The model was trained on a combination of the following datasets: | Dataset | Sentences | |-------------------|----------------| | CLUVI | 318.612 | | WikiMatrix | 438.181 | | WikiMedia | 83.511 | | QED | 30.211 | | TED 2020 v1 | 33.324 | | CCMatrix v1 | 24.165.978 | | ParaCrawl | 6.537.374 | | OpenSubtitles | 197.519 | | **Total** | **31.804.710** | ### Training procedure ### Data preparation All datasets are concatenated and filtered using the [mBERT Gencata parallel filter](https://huggingface.co/projecte-aina/mbert-base-gencata) and cleaned using the clean-corpus-n.pl script from [moses](https://github.com/moses-smt/mosesdecoder), allowing sentences between 5 and 150 words. Before training, the punctuation is normalized using a modified version of the join-single-file.py script from [SoftCatalà](https://github.com/Softcatala/nmt-models/blob/master/data-processing-tools/join-single-file.py) #### Tokenization All data is tokenized using sentencepiece, with 50 thousand token sentencepiece model learned from the combination of all filtered training data. This model is included. #### Hyperparameters The model is based on the Transformer-XLarge proposed by [Subramanian et al.](https://aclanthology.org/2021.wmt-1.18.pdf) The following hyperparamenters were set on the Fairseq toolkit: | Hyperparameter | Value | |------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | Architecture | transformer_vaswani_wmt_en_de_big | | Embedding size | 1024 | | Feedforward size | 4096 | | Number of heads | 16 | | Encoder layers | 24 | | Decoder layers | 6 | | Normalize before attention | True | | --share-decoder-input-output-embed | True | | --share-all-embeddings | True | | Effective batch size | 96.000 | | Optimizer | adam | | Adam betas | (0.9, 0.980) | | Clip norm | 0.0 | | Learning rate | 1e-3 | | Lr. schedurer | inverse sqrt | | Warmup updates | 4000 | | Dropout | 0.1 | | Label smoothing | 0.1 | The model was trained using shards of 10 million sentences, for a total of 8.000 updates. Weights were saved every 1000 updates and reported results are the average of the last 6 checkpoints. After this, the model was trained an extra epoch on the CLUVI dataset. ## Evaluation ### Variable and metrics We use the BLEU score for evaluation on test sets: [Flores-101](https://github.com/facebookresearch/flores), [TaCon](https://elrc-share.eu/repository/browse/tacon-spanish-constitution-mt-test-set/84a96138b98611ec9c1a00155d02670628f3e6857b0f422abd82abc3795ec8c2/), [Tatoeba](https://opus.nlpl.eu/Tatoeba.php) ### Evaluation results Below are the evaluation results on the machine translation from Spanish to Galician compared to [Apertium](https://apertium.org/), [Google Translate](https://translate.google.es/?hl=es) and [M2M 100 418M](https://huggingface.co/facebook/m2m100_418M): | Test set | Apertium | Google Translate | M2M-100 418M | mt-plantl-es-gl | |----------------------|------------|------------------|--------------|-----------------| | Spanish Constitution | 74,5 | 60,4 | 70,7 | **84,3** | | Flores 101 devtest | 21,4 | **25,6** | 21,6 | 21,8 | | Tatoeba | **67,9** | 52,8 | 53,9 | 66,6 | | Average | 54,3 | 46,3 | 48,7 | **57,6** | ## Additional information ### Author Text Mining Unit (TeMU) at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (bsc-temu@bsc.es) ### Contact information For further information, send an email to ### Copyright Copyright by the Spanish State Secretariat for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (SEDIA) (2022) ### Licensing information This work is licensed under a [Apache License, Version 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) ### Funding This work was funded by the Spanish State Secretariat for Digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (SEDIA) ### Disclaimer
