# opus-mt-tc-base-uk-ro

Neural machine translation model for translating from Ukrainian (uk) to Romanian (ro).

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).

* more information released models: [OPUS-MT ukr-ron README](https://github.com/Helsinki-NLP/Tatoeba-Challenge/tree/master/models/ukr-ron/README.md)
* more information about the model: [MarianMT](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/model_doc/marian)

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. `>><<`

## Usage

A short example code:

```python
from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer

src_text = [
    ">>ron<< Стаття висловлює особисту думку автора.",
    ">>ron<< Качкодзьоби живуть на сході Австрії."
]

model_name = "pytorch-models/opus-mt-tc-base-uk-ro"
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:
#     Articolul exprimă opinia personală a autorului.
#     Kachkojiobi trăiesc în estul Austriei.
```

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-uk-ro")
print(pipe(">>ron<< Стаття висловлює особисту думку автора."))

# expected output: Articolul exprimă opinia personală a autorului.
```
