Model Card for Taigi-Llama-2-Translator-13B

The Taigi-Llama-2-Translator series are built based on the Taigi-Llama-2 series model. We conducted fine-tuning on 263k parallel data to create a translation model for Taiwanese Hokkien and related languages.

Model description

• Base Model: Bohanlu/Taigi-Llama-2-13B
• Usage: This model can be used for translating between Traditional Chinese or English and Taiwanese Hokkien (Hanzi, POJ, or Hanlo). It also supports translation between different scripts of Taiwanese Hokkien (Hanzi, POJ, Hanlo).
• Language(s) (NLP): Taiwanese Hokkien (Hanzi, POJ and Hanlo), Traditional Chinese and English
• Input: Text in source language
• Output: Text in target language
• Model Size: 13B parameters

Prompt Template

{BOS}[TRANS]\n{source_sentence}\n[/TRANS]\n[{target_language}]\n

• source_sentence: The sentence you want to translate.
• target_language: The target language you want to translate to. Use "ZH" for Traditional Chinese, "EN" for English, "POJ" for Taiwanese Hokkien POJ, "HL" for Taiwanese Hokkien Hanlo, and "HAN" for Taiwanese Hokkien Hanzi.
• Ensure there's a newline at the end.

Usage Example

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextGenerationPipeline
import torch
import accelerate

def get_pipeline(path:str, tokenizer:AutoTokenizer, accelerator:accelerate.Accelerator) -> TextGenerationPipeline:
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(
        path, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map='auto', trust_remote_code=True)
    
    terminators = [tokenizer.eos_token_id, tokenizer.pad_token_id]

    pipeline = TextGenerationPipeline(model = model, tokenizer = tokenizer, num_workers=accelerator.state.num_processes*4, pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id, eos_token_id=terminators)

    return pipeline

model_dir = "Bohanlu/Taigi-Llama-2-Translator-7B" # or "Bohanlu/Taigi-Llama-2-Translator-13B" for the 13B model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_dir, use_fast=False)

accelerator = accelerate.Accelerator()
pipe = get_pipeline(model_dir, tokenizer, accelerator)

PROMPT_TEMPLATE = "[TRANS]\n{source_sentence}\n[/TRANS]\n[{target_language}]\n"

def translate(source_sentence:str, target_language:str) -> str:
    prompt = PROMPT_TEMPLATE.format(source_sentence=source_sentence, target_language=target_language)
    out = pipe(prompt, return_full_text=False, repetition_penalty=1.1, do_sample=False)[0]['generated_text']
    return out[:out.find("[/")].strip()

source_sentence = "How are you today？"

print("To Hanzi: " + translate(source_sentence, "HAN"))
# Output: To Hanzi: 你今仔日好無？

print("To POJ: " + translate(source_sentence, "POJ"))
# Output: To POJ: Lí kin-á-ji̍t án-chóaⁿ?

print("To Traditional Chinese: " + translate(source_sentence, "ZH"))
# Output: To Traditional Chinese: 你今天好嗎？

print("To Hanlo: " + translate(source_sentence, "HL"))
# Output: To Hanlo: 你今仔日好無？
