Awesome Align With Co

🚀 AWESOME: Aligning Word Embedding Spaces of Multilingual Encoders

This project provides a tool to extract word alignments from multilingual BERT (mBERT). It helps users achieve better alignment quality by fine - tuning mBERT on parallel corpora.

🚀 Quick Start

This model is sourced from the following GitHub repository: https://github.com/neulab/awesome-align. It corresponds to this paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.08231.

Please cite the original paper if you decide to use the model:

✨ Features

awesome-align is a tool that can extract word alignments from multilingual BERT (mBERT) Demo and allows you to fine - tune mBERT on parallel corpora for better alignment quality (see our paper for more details).

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
import itertools
import torch

# load model
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("aneuraz/awesome-align-with-co")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("aneuraz/awesome-align-with-co")

# model parameters
align_layer = 8
threshold = 1e-3

# define inputs
src = 'awesome-align is awesome !'
tgt = '牛对齐 是 牛 ！'

# pre-processing
sent_src, sent_tgt = src.strip().split(), tgt.strip().split()
token_src, token_tgt = [tokenizer.tokenize(word) for word in sent_src], [tokenizer.tokenize(word) for word in sent_tgt]
wid_src, wid_tgt = [tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids(x) for x in token_src], [tokenizer.convert_tokens_to_ids(x) for x in token_tgt]
ids_src, ids_tgt = tokenizer.prepare_for_model(list(itertools.chain(*wid_src)), return_tensors='pt', model_max_length=tokenizer.model_max_length, truncation=True)['input_ids'], tokenizer.prepare_for_model(list(itertools.chain(*wid_tgt)), return_tensors='pt', truncation=True, model_max_length=tokenizer.model_max_length)['input_ids']
sub2word_map_src = []
for i, word_list in enumerate(token_src):
  sub2word_map_src += [i for x in word_list]
sub2word_map_tgt = []
for i, word_list in enumerate(token_tgt):
  sub2word_map_tgt += [i for x in word_list]
  
# alignment
align_layer = 8
threshold = 1e-3
model.eval()
with torch.no_grad():
  out_src = model(ids_src.unsqueeze(0), output_hidden_states=True)[2][align_layer][0, 1:-1]
  out_tgt = model(ids_tgt.unsqueeze(0), output_hidden_states=True)[2][align_layer][0, 1:-1]

  dot_prod = torch.matmul(out_src, out_tgt.transpose(-1, -2))

  softmax_srctgt = torch.nn.Softmax(dim=-1)(dot_prod)
  softmax_tgtsrc = torch.nn.Softmax(dim=-2)(dot_prod)

  softmax_inter = (softmax_srctgt > threshold)*(softmax_tgtsrc > threshold)

align_subwords = torch.nonzero(softmax_inter, as_tuple=False)
align_words = set()
for i, j in align_subwords:
  align_words.add( (sub2word_map_src[i], sub2word_map_tgt[j]) )
  
print(align_words)
