NorT5 base finetuned for English ↔ Norwegian (Bokmål or Nynorsk, all 6 directions) translation

Example usage

This model is specifically finetuned for translating documents in any direction between Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk and English. Unlike traditional NMT models, it is trained on paragraph-to-paragraph translation – the translation quality is thus better if you feed it whole paragraphs instead of segmented sentences.

A simple example of how to use this model can be found in the translate.py file:

python

import torch
import transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
from transformers.generation import LogitsProcessor


class RepetitionPenaltyLogitsProcessor(LogitsProcessor):
    def __init__(self, penalty: float, model):
        last_bias = model.classifier.nonlinearity[-1].bias.data
        last_bias = torch.nn.functional.log_softmax(last_bias)
        self.penalty = penalty * (last_bias - last_bias.max())

    def __call__(self, input_ids: torch.LongTensor, scores: torch.FloatTensor) -> torch.FloatTensor:
        penalized_score = torch.gather(scores + self.penalty.unsqueeze(0).to(input_ids.device), 1, input_ids).to(scores.dtype)
        scores.scatter_(1, input_ids, penalized_score)
        return scores


class Translator:
    def __init__(self, model_path="ltg/nort5-base-en-no-translation", device="cpu"):
        self.tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
        self.cls_index = self.tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids("[CLS]")

        source = [s.strip() for s in source.split('\n')]
        source_subwords = self.tokenizer(source).input_ids
        source_subwords = [[self.cls_index, self.LANGUAGE_IDS[target_language], self.LANGUAGE_IDS[source_language]] + s + [self.sep_index] for s in source_subwords]
        source_subwords = [torch.tensor(s) for s in source_subwords]
        source_subwords = torch.nn.utils.rnn.pad_sequence(source_subwords, batch_first=True, padding_value=self.pad_index)
        source_subwords = source_subwords[:, :512].to(self.device)

        def generate(model, **kwargs):
            with torch.inference_mode():
                with torch.autocast(enabled=self.device != "cpu", device_type="cuda", dtype=torch.bfloat16):
                    return model.generate(**kwargs)

        generate_kwargs = dict(
            input_ids=source_subwords,
            attention_mask=(source_subwords != self.pad_index).long(),

        output = generate(self.model, **generate_kwargs).tolist()
        paragraphs = [self.tokenizer.decode(c, skip_special_tokens=True).strip() for c in output]
        translation = '\n'.join(paragraphs)
