This repository contains the translation model for Croatian-English trained with HPLT data only. The model is available in both Marian and Hugging Face formats.
Model Info
Source language: Croatian
Target language: English
Data: HPLT data only
Model architecture: Transformer-base
Tokenizer: SentencePiece (Unigram)
Cleaning: We used OpusCleaner with a set of basic rules. Details can be found in the filter files here.
The model has been trained with MarianNMT and the weights are in the Marian format. We have also converted the model into the Hugging Face format so it is compatible with transformers.
Using Marian
To run inference with MarianNMT, refer to the Inference/Decoding/Translation section of our GitHub repository. You will need the model file model.npz.best-chrf.npz and the vocabulary file model.hr-en.spm from this repository.
Using transformers
We have also converted this model to the Hugging Face format and you can get started with the script below. Note that due a known issue in weight conversion, the checkpoint cannot work with transformer versions <4.26 or >4.30. We tested and suggest pip install transformers==4.28.
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("HPLT/translate-hr-en-v1.0-hplt")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("HPLT/translate-hr-en-v1.0-hplt")
inputs = ["Input goes here.", "Make sure the language is right."]
batch_tokenized = tokenizer(inputs, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
model_output = model.generate(
**batch_tokenized, num_beams=6, max_new_tokens=512
)
batch_detokenized = tokenizer.batch_decode(
model_output,
skip_special_tokens=True,
)
print(batch_detokenized)
