Additionally, the model is evaluated on several public datasecomprising 5 different domains (general, adminstrative, technology, biomedical, and news). ## Intended uses and limitations You can use this model for machine translation from Catalan to English. ## How to use ### Usage Required libraries: ```bash pip install ctranslate2 pyonmttok ``` Translate a sentence using python ```python import ctranslate2 import pyonmttok from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download model_dir = snapshot_download(repo_id="projecte-aina/mt-aina-ca-en", revision="main") tokenizer=pyonmttok.Tokenizer(mode="none", sp_model_path = model_dir + "/spm.model") tokenized=tokenizer.tokenize("Benvingut al projecte Aina!") translator = ctranslate2.Translator(model_dir) translated = translator.translate_batch([tokenized[0]]) print(tokenizer.detokenize(translated[0][0]['tokens'])) ``` ## Training ### Training data The model was trained on a combination of the following datasets: | Dataset | Sentences | |--------------------|----------------| | Global Voices | 21.342 | | Memories Lluires | 1.173.055 | | Wikimatrix | 1.205.908 | | TED Talks | 50.979 | | Tatoeba | 5.500 | | CoVost 2 ca-en | 79.633 | | CoVost 2 en-ca | 263.891 | | Europarl | 1.965.734 | | jw300 | 97.081 | | Crawled Generalitat| 38.595 | | Opus Books | 4.580 | | CC Aligned | 5.787.682 | | COVID_Wikipedia | 1.531 | | EuroBooks | 3.746 | | Gnome | 2.183 | | KDE 4 | 144.153 | | OpenSubtitles | 427.913 | | QED | 69.823 | | Ubuntu | 6.781 | | Wikimedia | 208.073 | |--------------------|----------------| | **Total** | **11.558.183** | ### Training procedure ### Data preparation All datasets are concatenated and filtered using the [mBERT Gencata parallel filter](https://huggingface.co/projecte-aina/mbert-base-gencata). Before training, the punctuation is normalized using a modified version of the join-single-file.py script from [SoftCatalà](https://github.com/Softcatala/nmt-models/blob/master/data-processing-tools/join-single-file.py) #### Tokenization All data is tokenized using sentencepiece, using 50 thousand token sentencepiece model learned from the combination of all filtered training data. This model is included. #### Hyperparameters The model is based on the Transformer-XLarge proposed by [Subramanian et al.](https://aclanthology.org/2021.wmt-1.18.pdf) The following hyperparamenters were set on the Fairseq toolkit: | Hyperparameter | Value | |------------------------------------|-----------------------------------| | Architecture | transformer_vaswani_wmt_en_de_big | | Embedding size | 1024 | | Feedforward size | 4096 | | Number of heads | 16 | | Encoder layers | 24 | | Decoder layers | 6 | | Normalize before attention | True | | --share-decoder-input-output-embed | True | | --share-all-embeddings | True | | Effective batch size | 96.000 | | Optimizer | adam | | Adam betas | (0.9, 0.980) | | Clip norm | 0.0 | | Learning rate | 1e-3 | | Lr. schedurer | inverse sqrt | | Warmup updates | 4000 | | Dropout | 0.1 | | Label smoothing | 0.1 | The model was trained for a total of 35.000 updates. Weights were saved every 1000 updates and reported results are the average of the last 16 checkpoints. ## Evaluation ### Variable and metrics We use the BLEU score for evaluation on test sets: [Flores-101](https://github.com/facebookresearch/flores), [TaCon](https://elrc-share.eu/repository/browse/tacon-spanish-constitution-mt-test-set/84a96138b98611ec9c1a00155d02670628f3e6857b0f422abd82abc3795ec8c2/), [United Nations](https://zenodo.org/record/3888414#.Y33-_tLMIW0), [Cybersecurity](https://elrc-share.eu/repository/browse/cyber-mt-test-set/2bd93faab98c11ec9c1a00155d026706b96a490ed3e140f0a29a80a08c46e91e/), [wmt19 biomedical test set](), [wmt13 news test set](https://elrc-share.eu/repository/browse/catalan-wmt2013-machine-translation-shared-task-test-set/84a96139b98611ec9c1a00155d0267061a0aa1b62e2248e89aab4952f3c230fc/), [aina aapp]() ### Evaluation results Below are the evaluation results on the machine translation from Catalan to English compared to [Softcatalà](https://www.softcatala.org/) and [Google Translate](https://translate.google.es/?hl=es): | Test set | SoftCatalà | Google Translate | mt-aina-ca-en | |----------------------|------------|------------------|---------------| | Spanish Constitution | 35,8 | **43,2** | 40,3 | | United Nations | 44,4 | **47,4** | 44,8 | | aina_aapp | 48,8 | **53,0** | 51,5 | | european_comission | 52,0 | **53,7** | 53,1 | | Flores 101 dev | 42,7 | **47,5** | 46,1 | | Flores 101 devtest | 42,5 | **46,9** | 45,2 | | Cybersecurity | 52,5 | **58,0** | 54,2 | | wmt 19 biomedical | 18,3 | **23,4** | 21,6 | | wmt 13 news | 37,8 | **39,8** | 39,3 | | Average | 39,2 | **45,0** | 41,6 | ## Additional information ### Author Text Mining Unit (TeMU) at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (bsc-temu@bsc.es) ### Contact information For further information, send an email to aina@bsc.es ### Copyright Copyright (c) 2022 Text Mining Unit at Barcelona Supercomputing Center ### Licensing Information [Apache License, Version 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0) ### Funding This work was funded by the [Departament de la Vicepresidència i de Polítiques Digitals i Territori de la Generalitat de Catalunya](https://politiquesdigitals.gencat.cat/ca/inici/index.html#googtrans(ca|en) within the framework of [Projecte AINA](https://politiquesdigitals.gencat.cat/ca/economia/catalonia-ai/aina). ## Disclaimer
