Limitations and bias

The original (and this ported model) doesn't seem to handle well inputs with repeated sub-phrases, content gets truncated

Training data

Pretrained weights were left identical to the original model released by fairseq. For more details, please, see the paper.

Eval results

pair	fairseq	transformers
en-ru	36.4	33.47

The score is slightly below the score reported by fairseq, since `transformers`` currently doesn't support:

model ensemble, therefore the best performing checkpoint was ported (model4.pt).
re-ranking

The score was calculated using this code:

bash

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
cd transformers
export PAIR=en-ru
export DATA_DIR=data/$PAIR
export SAVE_DIR=data/$PAIR
export BS=8
export NUM_BEAMS=15
mkdir -p $DATA_DIR
sacrebleu -t wmt19 -l $PAIR --echo src > $DATA_DIR/val.source
sacrebleu -t wmt19 -l $PAIR --echo ref > $DATA_DIR/val.target
echo $PAIR
PYTHONPATH="src:examples/seq2seq" python examples/seq2seq/run_eval.py facebook/wmt19-$PAIR $DATA_DIR/val.source $SAVE_DIR/test_translations.txt --reference_path $DATA_DIR/val.target --score_path $SAVE_DIR/test_bleu.json --bs $BS --task translation --num_beams $NUM_BEAMS

note: fairseq reports using a beam of 50, so you should get a slightly higher score if re-run with --num_beams 50.
