NorT5 base finetuned for English ↔ Norwegian (Bokmål or Nynorsk, all 6 directions) translation
Example usage
This model is specifically finetuned for translating documents in any direction between Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk and English. Unlike traditional NMT models, it is trained on paragraph-to-paragraph translation – the translation quality is thus better if you feed it whole paragraphs instead of segmented sentences.
A simple example of how to use this model can be found in the translate.py file:
import torch
import transformers
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
from transformers.generation import LogitsProcessor
class RepetitionPenaltyLogitsProcessor(LogitsProcessor):
def __init__(self, penalty: float, model):
last_bias = model.classifier.nonlinearity[-1].bias.data
last_bias = torch.nn.functional.log_softmax(last_bias)
self.penalty = penalty * (last_bias - last_bias.max())
def __call__(self, input_ids: torch.LongTensor, scores: torch.FloatTensor) -> torch.FloatTensor:
penalized_score = torch.gather(scores + self.penalty.unsqueeze(0).to(input_ids.device), 1, input_ids).to(scores.dtype)
scores.scatter_(1, input_ids, penalized_score)
return scores
