### Biomedical Domain French to English Machine Translation
French to English translation model is a Transformer model trained on in-domain web crawled corpus from Wikipedia. 
This model is produced during the experimentation related to building domain-adapted NMT models for specialized domains.
The evaluation is done on Medline 19-20 standard development and test sets. 

* source group: French 
* target group: English

* Model: Transformer
* Test Set: Medline-20
* Pre-processing: Moses Tokenizer
* Dataset Details:  (https://huggingface.co/datasets/SLPG/Biomedical_EN_FA_Corpus)

## How to use model?
* This model can be accessed via git clone:
  ```
  git clone https://huggingface.co/SLPG/Biomedical_MT_EN-FR
  ```
* You can use Fairseq library to access the model for translations:
  ```
  from fairseq.models.transformer import TransformerModel
  ```

### Load the model
```
model = TransformerModel.from_pretrained('path/to/model')

```

#### Set the model to evaluation mode
```
model.eval()
```

#### Perform inference
```
input_text = 'Saisir du texte'

output_text = model.translate(input_text)

print(output_text)
```

    abstract = "We have explored the effect of in domain knowledge during parallel sentence filtering from in domain corpora. Models built with sentences mined from in domain corpora without domain knowledge performed poorly, whereas model performance improved by more than 2.3 BLEU points on average with further domain centric filtering. We have used Large Language Models for selecting similar and domain aligned sentences. Our experiments show the importance of inclusion of domain knowledge in sentence selection methodologies even if the initial comparable corpora are in domain.",
