opus-mt-tc-big-zls-en

Neural machine translation model for translating from South Slavic languages (zls) to English (en).

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.

Usage

A short example code:

python
from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer

src_text = [
    "Да не би случайно Том да остави Мери да кара колата?",
    "Какво е времето днес?"
]

model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-big-zls-en"
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:
#     Did Tom just let Mary drive the car?
#     What's the weather like today?

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-big-zls-en")
print(pipe("Да не би случайно Том да остави Мери да кара колата?"))

# expected output: Did Tom just let Mary drive the car?
