🇲🇦 Terjman-Nano-v2.0 (77M) 🚀

Terjman-Nano-v2.0 is an improved version of atlasia/Terjman-Nano-v1, built on the powerful Transformer architecture and fine-tuned for high-quality, accurate translations.

This version is based on atlasia/Terjman-Nano-v1 and has been trained on a larger and more refined dataset, leading to improved translation performance. The model achieves results on par with gpt-4o-2024-08-06 on TerjamaBench, an evaluation benchmark for English-Moroccan darija translation models, that challenges the models more on the cultural aspect.

🚀 Features

✅ Fine-tuned for English->Moroccan darija translation.
✅ State-of-the-art performance among open-source models.
✅ Compatible with 🤗 Transformers and easily deployable on various hardware setups.

🔥 Performance Comparison

The following table compares Terjman-Nano-v2.0 against proprietary and open-source models using BLEU, chrF, and TER scores. Higher BLEU/chrF and lower TER indicate better translation quality.

🔬 Model Details

• Base Model: atlasia/Terjman-Nano-v1
• Architecture: Transformer-based sequence-to-sequence model
• Training Data: High-quality parallel corpora with high quality translations
• Training Precision: FP16 for efficient inference

🚀 How to Use

You can use the model with the Hugging Face Transformers library:

from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

model_name = "BounharAbdelaziz/Terjman-Nano-v2.0"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

def translate(text):
    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
    output = model.generate(**inputs)
    return tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

# Example translation
text = "Hello there! Today the weather is so nice in Geneva, couldn't ask for more to enjoy the holidays :)"
translation = translate(text)
print("Translation:", translation)
# prints: صباح الخير! اليوم الطقس زوين بزاف فجنيف، ما قدرش نطلب أكثر باش نستمتع بالعطلات:)

🖥️ Deployment

Run in a Hugging Face Space

Try the model interactively in the Terjman-Nano Space 🤗

Use with Text Generation Inference (TGI)

For fast inference, use Hugging Face TGI:

pip install text-generation
text-generation-launcher --model-id BounharAbdelaziz/Terjman-Nano-v2.0

Run Locally with Transformers & PyTorch

pip install transformers torch
python -c "from transformers import pipeline; print(pipeline('translation', model='BounharAbdelaziz/Terjman-Nano-v2.0')('Hello there!'))"

Deploy on an API Server

Use FastAPI to serve translations as an API:

from fastapi import FastAPI
from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

app = FastAPI()
model_name = "BounharAbdelaziz/Terjman-Nano-v2.0"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(model_name)

@app.get("/translate/")
def translate(text: str):
    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
    output = model.generate(**inputs)
    return {"translation": tokenizer.decode(output[0], skip_special_tokens=True)}
