Neural machine translation model for translating from Multiple languages (mul) to Multiple languages (mul). Note that many of the listed languages will not be well supported by the model as the training data is very limited for the majority of the languages. Translation performance varies a lot and for a large number of language pairs it will not work at all.

This model is part of the OPUS-MT project, 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, 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 and training pipelines use the procedures of OPUS-MT-train.

Original Model: opusTCv20230926+bt+jhubc_transformer-big_2024-08-17.zip
Resources for more information:

This is a multilingual translation model with multiple target languages. A sentence initial language token is required in the form of >>id<< (id = valid target language ID), e.g. >>aar<<

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) and Bender et al. (2021)).

Also note that many of the listed languages will not be well supported by the model as the training data is very limited for the majority of the languages. Translation performance varies a lot and for a large number of language pairs it will not work at all.

How to Get Started With the Model

A short example code:

python

from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer

src_text = [
    ">>rus<< You'd better not speak to Tom about that.",
    ">>ceb<< How are you?"
]

model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-bible-big-mul-mul"
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:
#     Лучше бы не поговорить с Томом об этом.
#     Sa unsang paagi ikaw?

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-bible-big-mul-mul")
print(pipe(">>rus<< You'd better not speak to Tom about that."))

# expected output: Лучше бы не поговорить с Томом об этом.
