Model Details

Model Description

This is a Machine Translation model, finetuned from NLLB-200's distilled 1.3B model, it is meant to be used in machine translation for tourism-related data.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

Training Procedure

The model was finetuned on three datasets; a general purpose dataset, a tourism, and an education dataset.

The model was finetuned in two phases.

Phase one:

  • General purpose dataset
  • Education dataset
  • Tourism dataset

Phase two:

  • Tourism dataset

Other than the dataset changes between phase one, and phase two finetuning; no other hyperparameters were modified. In both cases, the model was trained on an A100 40GB GPU for two epochs.

Evaluation

Metrics

Model performance was measured using BLEU, spBLEU, TER, and chrF++ metrics.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
