## Model Details

Neural machine translation model for translating from English (en) to Serbo-Croatian (sh).

This model is part of the [OPUS-MT project](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT), an effort to make neural machine translation models widely available and accessible for many languages in the world. All models are originally trained using the amazing framework of [Marian NMT](https://marian-nmt.github.io/), an efficient NMT implementation written in pure C++. The models have been converted to pyTorch using the transformers library by huggingface. Training data is taken from [OPUS](https://opus.nlpl.eu/) and training pipelines use the procedures of [OPUS-MT-train](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Opus-MT-train).
**Model Description:**
- **Developed by:** Language Technology Research Group at the University of Helsinki
- **Model Type:** Translation (transformer-align)
- **Release**: 2021-04-20
- **License:** CC-BY-4.0
- **Language(s):**  
  - Source Language(s): eng
  - Target Language(s): bos_Latn hbs hrv srp_Cyrl srp_Latn
  - Language Pair(s): eng-bos_Latn eng-hbs eng-hrv eng-srp_Cyrl eng-srp_Latn
  - Valid Target Language Labels: >>bos_Cyrl<< >>bos_Latn<< >>cnr<< >>cnr_Latn<< >>hbs<< >>hbs_Cyrl<< >>hrv<< >>srp_Cyrl<< >>srp_Latn<<

- **Resources for more information:**
  - [OPUS-MT-train GitHub Repo](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/OPUS-MT-train)

This is a multilingual translation model with multiple target languages. A sentence initial language token is required in the form of `>>id<<` (id = valid target language ID), e.g. `>>bos_Latn<<`

## Uses

This model can be used for translation and text-to-text generation.

## Risks, Limitations and Biases

**CONTENT WARNING: Readers should be aware that the model is trained on various public data sets that may contain content that is disturbing, offensive, and can propagate historical and current stereotypes.**

Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)).

## How to Get Started With the Model

A short example code:

```python
from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer

src_text = [
    ">>hrv<< You're about to make a very serious mistake.",
    ">>hbs<< I've just been too busy."
]

model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-base-en-sh"
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:
#     Ti si o tome napraviti vrlo ozbiljnu pogre�ku.
#     [4]
```

You can also use OPUS-MT models with the transformers pipelines, for example:

```python
from transformers import pipeline
pipe = pipeline("translation", model="Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-tc-base-en-sh")
print(pipe(">>hrv<< You're about to make a very serious mistake."))

# expected output: Ti si o tome napraviti vrlo ozbiljnu pogre�ku.
```
