This model is part of the [OPUS-MT project](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT), an effort to make neural machine translation models widely available and accessible for many languages in the world. All models are originally trained using the amazing framework of [Marian NMT](https://marian-nmt.github.io/), an efficient NMT implementation written in pure C++. The models have been converted to pyTorch using the transformers library by huggingface. Training data is taken from [OPUS](https://opus.nlpl.eu/) and training pipelines use the procedures of [OPUS-MT-train](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT-train). **Model Description:** - **Developed by:** Language Technology Research Group at the University of Helsinki - **Model Type:** Translation (transformer-big) - **Release**: 2022-07-26 - **License:** CC-BY-4.0 - **Language(s):** - Source Language(s): deu - Target Language(s): spa - Language Pair(s): deu-spa - Valid Target Language Labels: - **Original Model**: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-07-26.zip](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/deu-spa/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-07-26.zip) - **Resources for more information:** - [OPUS-MT-train GitHub Repo](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/OPUS-MT-train) - More information about released models for this language pair: [OPUS-MT deu-spa README](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge/tree/master/models/deu-spa/README.md) - [More information about MarianNMT models in the transformers library](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/marian) - [Tatoeba Translation Challenge](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge/ ## Uses This model can be used for translation and text-to-text generation. ## Risks, Limitations and Biases **CONTENT WARNING: Readers should be aware that the model is trained on various public data sets that may contain content that is disturbing, offensive, and can propagate historical and current stereotypes.** Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)). ## How to Get Started With the Model A short example code: ```python from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer src_text = [ "Ich verstehe nicht, worüber ihr redet.", "Die Vögel singen in den Bäumen." ] model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-big-de-es" tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name) model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained(model_name) translated = model.generate(**tokenizer(src_text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)) for t in translated: print( tokenizer.decode(t, skip_special_tokens=True) ) # expected output: # No entiendo de qué están hablando. # Los pájaros cantan en los árboles. ``` You can also use OPUS-MT models with the transformers pipelines, for example: ```python from transformers import pipeline pipe = pipeline("translation", model="Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-tc-big-de-es") print(pipe("Ich verstehe nicht, worüber ihr redet.")) # expected output: No entiendo de qué están hablando. ``` ## Training - **Data**: opusTCv20210807 ([source](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge)) - **Pre-processing**: SentencePiece (spm32k,spm32k) - **Model Type:** transformer-big - **Original MarianNMT Model**: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-07-26.zip](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/deu-spa/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-07-26.zip) - **Training Scripts**: [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/OPUS-MT-train) ## Evaluation * test set translations: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-07-26.test.txt](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/deu-spa/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-07-26.test.txt) * test set scores: [opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-07-26.eval.txt](https://object.pouta.csc.fi/Tatoeba-MT-models/deu-spa/opusTCv20210807_transformer-big_2022-07-26.eval.txt) * benchmark results: [benchmark_results.txt](benchmark_results.txt) * benchmark output: [benchmark_translations.zip](benchmark_translations.zip) | langpair | testset | chr-F | BLEU | #sent | #words | |----------|---------|-------|-------|-------|--------| | deu-spa | tatoeba-test-v2021-08-07 | 0.69105 | 50.8 | 10521 | 82570 | | deu-spa | flores101-devtest | 0.53208 | 24.9 | 1012 | 29199 | | deu-spa | newssyscomb2009 | 0.55547 | 28.3 | 502 | 12503 | | deu-spa | news-test2008 | 0.54400 | 26.6 | 2051 | 52586 | | deu-spa | newstest2009 | 0.53934 | 25.9 | 2525 | 68111 | | deu-spa | newstest2010 | 0.60102 | 33.8 | 2489 | 65480 | | deu-spa | newstest2011 | 0.57133 | 31.3 | 3003 | 79476 | | deu-spa | newstest2012 | 0.58119 | 32.6 | 3003 | 79006 | | deu-spa | newstest2013 | 0.57559 | 32.4 | 3000 | 70528 | ## Citation Information * Publications: [OPUS-MT – Building open translation services for the World](https://aclanthology.org/2020.eamt-1.61/) and [The Tatoeba Translation Challenge – Realistic Data Sets for Low Resource and Multilingual MT](https://aclanthology.org/2020.wmt-1.139/) (Please, cite if you use this model.) ``` @inproceedings{tiedemann-thottingal-2020-opus, title = "{OPUS}-{MT} {--} Building open translation services for the World", author = {Tiedemann, J{\"o}rg and Thottingal, Santhosh}, booktitle = "Proceedings of the 22nd Annual Conference of the European Association for Machine Translation", month = nov, year = "2020", address = "Lisboa, Portugal", publisher = "European Association for Machine Translation", url = "https://aclanthology.org/2020.eamt-1.61", pages = "479--480", } @inproceedings{tiedemann-2020-tatoeba, title = "The Tatoeba Translation Challenge {--} Realistic Data Sets for Low Resource and Multilingual {MT}", author = {Tiedemann, J{\"o}rg}, booktitle = "Proceedings of the Fifth Conference on Machine Translation", month = nov, year = "2020", address = "Online", publisher = "Association for Computational Linguistics", url = "https://aclanthology.org/2020.wmt-1.139", pages = "1174--1182", } ``` ## Acknowledgements The work is supported by the [European Language Grid](https://www.european-language-grid.eu/) as [pilot project 2866](https://live.european-language-grid.eu/catalogue/#/resource/projects/2866), by the [FoTran project](https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/natural-language-understanding-with-cross-lingual-grounding), funded by the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement No 771113), and the [MeMAD project](https://memad.eu/), funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme under grant agreement No 780069.
