WMT 21 En-X
WMT 21 En-X is a 4.7B multilingual encoder-decoder (seq-to-seq) model trained for one-to-many multilingual translation. It was introduced in this paper and first released in this repository.
The model can directly translate English text into 7 other languages: Hausa (ha), Icelandic (is), Japanese (ja), Czech (cs), Russian (ru), Chinese (zh), German (de).
To translate into a target language, the target language id is forced as the first generated token.
To force the target language id as the first generated token, pass the forced_bos_token_id
parameter to the generate
method.
Note: M2M100Tokenizer
depends on sentencepiece
, so make sure to install it before running the example.
To install sentencepiece
run pip install sentencepiece
Since the model was trained with domain tags, you should prepend them to the input as well.
- "wmtdata newsdomain": Use for sentences in the news domain
- "wmtdata otherdomain": Use for sentences in all other domain
from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("facebook/wmt21-dense-24-wide-en-x")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("facebook/wmt21-dense-24-wide-en-x")
inputs = tokenizer("wmtdata newsdomain One model for many languages.", return_tensors="pt")
# translate English to German
generated_tokens = model.generate(**inputs, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("de"))
tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
# => "Ein Modell für viele Sprachen."
# translate English to Icelandic
generated_tokens = model.generate(**inputs, forced_bos_token_id=tokenizer.get_lang_id("is"))
tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_tokens, skip_special_tokens=True)
# => "Ein fyrirmynd fyrir mörg tungumál."
