Model Card

gemma-4-31B-it-TamSiPara-Ta2Si-en

A LoRA adapter for Tamil to Sinhala machine translation, trained on the TamSiPara Tamil-Sinhala parallel corpus (Pushpananda et al., 2024) as part of the SinGen Sinhala text generation benchmark.

The adapter is trained on top of google/gemma-4-31B-it using the model's own chat template, with the same instruction wording as the SinGen zero-shot and few-shot prompting runs.

Usage

python

from transformers import AutoProcessor, AutoModelForImageTextToText
from peft import PeftModel

processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("google/gemma-4-31B-it")
model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained("google/gemma-4-31B-it", dtype="auto", device_map="auto")
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model, "sinhala-nlp/gemma-4-31B-it-TamSiPara-Ta2Si-en")

(Use AutoTokenizer / AutoModelForCausalLM for text-only checkpoints.)

The model continues from the Translation: prefix inside the assistant turn.
