opus-mt-tc-big-cat_oci_spa-en

Neural machine translation model for translating from Catalan, Occitan and Spanish (cat+oci+spa) 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 .

Model info

Usage

A short example code:

from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer

src_text = [
    "¿Puedo hacerte una pregunta?",
    "Toca algo de música."
]

model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-big-cat_oci_spa-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:
#     Can I ask you a question?
#     He plays some music.

You can also use OPUS-MT models with the transformers pipelines, for example:

from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("translation", model="Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-tc-big-cat_oci_spa-en")
print(pipe("¿Puedo hacerte una pregunta?"))

# expected output: Can I ask you a question?
