FSMT

Model description

This is a ported version of fairseq-based wmt19 transformer for de-en.

For more details, please, see Deep Encoder, Shallow Decoder: Reevaluating the Speed-Quality Tradeoff in Machine Translation.

2 models are available:

• wmt19-de-en-6-6-big
• wmt19-de-en-6-6-base

Intended uses & limitations

How to use

from transformers.tokenization_fsmt import FSMTTokenizer
from transformers.modeling_fsmt import FSMTForConditionalGeneration
mname = "allenai/wmt19-de-en-6-6-big"
tokenizer = FSMTTokenizer.from_pretrained(mname)
model = FSMTForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(mname)

input = "Maschinelles Lernen ist großartig, nicht wahr?"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(input, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(input_ids)
decoded = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(decoded) # Machine learning is great, isn't it?

Limitations and bias

Training data

Pretrained weights were left identical to the original model released by allenai. For more details, please, see the paper.

Eval results

Here are the BLEU scores:

model | transformers -------|---------|---------- wmt19-de-en-6-6-big | 39.9

The score was calculated using this code:

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
cd transformers
export PAIR=de-en
export DATA_DIR=data/$PAIR
export SAVE_DIR=data/$PAIR
export BS=8
export NUM_BEAMS=5
mkdir -p $DATA_DIR
sacrebleu -t wmt19 -l $PAIR --echo src > $DATA_DIR/val.source
sacrebleu -t wmt19 -l $PAIR --echo ref > $DATA_DIR/val.target
echo $PAIR
PYTHONPATH="src:examples/seq2seq" python examples/seq2seq/run_eval.py allenai/wmt19-de-en-6-6-big $DATA_DIR/val.source $SAVE_DIR/test_translations.txt --reference_path $DATA_DIR/val.target --score_path $SAVE_DIR/test_bleu.json --bs $BS --task translation --num_beams $NUM_BEAMS
