barbaroo/nllb_200_600M_en_fo

Model Description

  • Model Architecture: This model is based on the NLLB 600M architecture and weights.
  • Languages: This checkpoint is fine-tuned to translate from English (en) to Faroese (fo).
  • Size: ~600M parameters.
  • Finetuning Datasets:
  • License: Inherits the original licenses of the NLLB 600M model.

Intended Use

  • Primary Use Case: Translate text from English to Faroese.
  • Audience: Researchers, developers, or anyone interested in Faroese language processing.
  • Usage Scenarios:
    • Building Faroese-English translation tools
    • Language research and corpus analysis
    • Synthetic data creation

Important: While the model can produce fluent translations, it is not guaranteed to be perfectly accurate on all inputs. Users should verify critical or sensitive content through human experts.

Metrics

  • Model performance measures:
    NLLB-200 model was evaluated using BLEU, chrF and BERT-score —metrics widely adopted by the machine translation community.

Evaluation Data

  • Datasets:
    Flores-200 dataset is described in Section 4 of the NLLB paper/documentation.

  • Motivation:
    Flores-200 is currently the only machine translation benchmark available for Faroese.

    How to Use

Below is a simple usage example in Python with Hugging Face Transformers:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, pipeline

model_name = "barbaroo/nllb_200_600M_en_fo"
translator = pipeline("translation", model=model_name, tokenizer=model_name)

text = "Hello, how are you?"
translation = translator(text)
print(translation)
