`quickmt-en-is` Neural Machine Translation Model

quickmt-en-is is a reasonably fast and reasonably accurate neural machine translation model for translation from en into is.

Try it on our Huggingface Space

Give it a try before downloading here: https://huggingface.co/spaces/quickmt/QuickMT-gui

Model Information

Trained using eole
200M parameter transformer 'big' with 8 encoder layers and 2 decoder layers
32k separate Sentencepiece vocabs
Exported for fast inference to CTranslate2 format

See the eole model configuration in this repository for further details and the eole-model for the raw eole (pytorch) model.

Usage with `quickmt`

You must install the Nvidia cuda toolkit first, if you want to do GPU inference.

Next, install the quickmt python library.

bash

git clone https://github.com/quickmt/quickmt.git
pip install ./quickmt/

Finally, use the model in python:

python

from quickmt import Translator
from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

# Download Model (if not downloaded already) and return path to local model
# Device is either 'auto', 'cpu' or 'cuda'
t = Translator(
    snapshot_download("quickmt/quickmt-en-is", ignore_patterns="eole-model/*"),
    device="cpu"
)

# Translate - set beam size to 1 for faster speed (but lower quality)
sample_text = 'Dr. Ehud Ur, professor of medicine at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia and chair of the clinical and scientific division of the Canadian Diabetes Association cautioned that the research is still in its early days.'

t(sample_text, beam_size=5)

'Ehud Ur, prófessor í læknisfræði við Dalhousie háskólann í Halifax, Nova Scotia og formaður klínískrar og vísindalegrar deildar kanadísku sykursýkisamtakanna varaði við því að rannsóknin væri enn á fyrstu dögum.'

python

# Get alternative translations by sampling
# You can pass any cTranslate2 `translate_batch` arguments
t([sample_text], sampling_temperature=1.2, beam_size=1, sampling_topk=50, sampling_topp=0.9)

'Ehud Ur, prófessor í lyflækninga við Dalhousie Háskólann í Halifax, Nova Scotia, og formaður klínískrar og vísindalegrar deildar kanadísku sykursýkisamtakanna varaði við því að rannsóknarinnar væri enn á frumdögum.'

The model is in ctranslate2 format, and the tokenizers are sentencepiece, so you can use ctranslate2 directly instead of through quickmt. It is also possible to get this model to work with e.g. LibreTranslate which also uses ctranslate2 and sentencepiece. A model in safetensors format to be used with eole is also provided.

Metrics

bleu and chrf2 are calculated with sacrebleu on the Flores200 devtest test set ("eng_Latn"->"isl_Latn"). comet22 with the comet library and the default model. "Time (s)" is the time in seconds to translate the flores-devtest dataset (1012 sentences) on an Nvidia RTX 4070s GPU with batch size 32.
