FSMT

Model description

This is a ported version of fairseq-based wmt19 transformer for de-en.

For more details, please, see Deep Encoder, Shallow Decoder: Reevaluating the Speed-Quality Tradeoff in Machine Translation .

2 models are available:

• wmt19-de-en-6-6-big
• wmt19-de-en-6-6-base

Intended uses & limitations

from transformers import FSMTForConditionalGeneration, FSMTTokenizer
mname = "allenai/wmt19-de-en-6-6-big"
tokenizer = FSMTTokenizer.from_pretrained(mname)
model = FSMTForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(mname)

input = "Maschinelles Lernen ist großartig, nicht wahr?"
input_ids = tokenizer.encode(input, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model.generate(input_ids)
decoded = tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
print(decoded) # Machine learning is great, isn't it?

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:

The score was calculated using this code:

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
