<hr>

This project implements the Transformer architecture from scratch considering Machine Translation as the usecase. It's mainly intended as an educational resource and a functional implementation of the architecture and the training/inference logic.

## Getting Started

### From PyPI

```bash
pip install tfs-mt
```

### From source

#### Prerequisites

- `uv` [[install](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/#installation)]

#### Steps
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Giovo17/tfs-mt.git
cd tfs-mt

uv sync

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env file with your configuration
```

## Usage

### Training

To start training the model with the default configuration:

```bash
uv run src/train.py
```

### Inference

To run inference using the trained model from the [HuggingFace repo](https://huggingface.co/giovo17/tfs-mt):

```bash
uv run src/inference.py
```

### Configuration

The whole project parameters can be configured in `src/tfs_mt/configs/config.yml`. Key configurations include:

- **Model Architecture**: Config, dropout, GloVe embedding init, ...
- **Training**: Optimizer, Learning rate scheduler, number of epochs, ...
- **Data**: Dataset, Dataloader, Tokenizer, ...

## Technical walkthrough

The technical breakdown of the architecture and the training/inference workflows can be found here:

- [Training and Inference](https://giovo17.github.io/tfs-mt/training_inference/introduction/)

### Model Sizes

The project supports various model configurations to suit different computational resources:

| Parameter                | Nano     | Small    | Base     | Original |
| :----------------------- | :------- | :------- | :------- | :------- |
| **Encoder Layers** | 4        | 6        | 8        | 6        |
| **Decoder Layers** | 4        | 6        | 8        | 6        |
| **d_model**        | 50       | 100      | 300      | 512      |
| **Num Heads**      | 4        | 6        | 8        | 8        |
| **d_ff**           | 200      | 400      | 800      | 2048     |
| **Norm Type**      | PostNorm | PostNorm | PostNorm | PostNorm |
| **Dropout**        | 0.1      | 0.1      | 0.1      | 0.1      |
| **GloVe Dim**      | 50d      | 100d     | 300d     | -        |
