Opus Mt Tc Big Zle De

🚀 opus-mt-tc-big-zle-de

A neural machine translation model designed to translate from East Slavic languages (zle) to German (de).

This model is part of the OPUS-MT project, an initiative aimed at making neural machine translation models widely accessible for numerous languages worldwide. All models are initially trained using the remarkable 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 sourced from OPUS, and training pipelines follow the procedures of OPUS-MT-train.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer

src_text = [
    "Это был по-настоящему прекрасный день.",
    "Дождь кончился?"
]

model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-big-zle-de"
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:
#     Es war ein wirklich schöner Tag.
#     Ist der Regen vorbei?

Advanced Usage

from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("translation", model="Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-tc-big-zle-de")
print(pipe("Это был по-настоящему прекрасный день."))

# expected output: Es war ein wirklich schöner Tag.
