Limitations and bias

Training data

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

Eval results

Here are the BLEU scores:

model	transformers
wmt19-de-en-6-6-big	39.9

The score was calculated using this code:

bash

git clone https://github.com/huggingface/transformers
cd transformers
export PAIR=de-en
export DATA_DIR=data/$PAIR
export SAVE_DIR=data/$PAIR
export BS=8
export NUM_BEAMS=5
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 allenai/wmt19-de-en-6-6-big $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
