# marian-finetuned-kde4-en-to-kin

This model is a fine-tuned version of [Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-rw](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-rw) on an unknown dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 2.0842
- Bleu: 28.1477

## Model Description

The model has been fine-tuned to perform machine translation from English to Kinyarwanda.

## Intended Uses & Limitations

The primary intended use of this model is for research purposes.

## Training and Evaluation Data

The model was fine-tuned using a combination of datasets from the following sources:
- [Digital Umuganda](https://huggingface.co/datasets/DigitalUmuganda/kinyarwanda-english-machine-translation-dataset/tree/main)
- [Masakhane](https://huggingface.co/datasets/masakhane/mafand/viewer/en-kin/validation)
- [Muennighoff](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Muennighoff/flores200)

For the training of the machine translation model, the dataset underwent the following preprocessing steps:
- Text was converted to lowercase
- Digits were removed

The combined dataset was divided into training and validation sets, with a split of 90% for training and 10% for validation.
