Introduction

The OPUS-MT-KO-EN model is a machine translation model developed by the Language Technology Research Group at the University of Helsinki. It is designed to translate text from Korean to English, leveraging the transformer architecture. The model is part of the OPUS project, which aims to provide open-source translation tools.

Architecture

The OPUS-MT-KO-EN model utilizes the transformer-align architecture. It involves pre-processing steps such as normalization and SentencePiece tokenization, using a vocabulary size of 32,000. The model is specifically tailored for translating between Korean and English, focusing on various Korean scripts including Hangul and Latin transliterations.

Training

The model was trained using data from the Tatoeba-Challenge, with the training date noted as June 17, 2020. Evaluation of the model was conducted using the Tatoeba-test set, achieving a BLEU score of 41.3 and a chr-F score of 0.588. These metrics indicate the model's effectiveness in producing accurate translations.

Guide: Running Locally

1. Installation: Ensure you have Python and PyTorch installed on your machine. You can install Hugging Face's transformers library using pip:

   pip install transformers
   

2. Download the Model: Access the model from the Hugging Face model hub or download the original weights from:

   • OPUS-MT-KO-EN Weights

3. Load the Model: Use the transformers library to load the model:

   from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer
   
   model_name = 'Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-ko-en'
   tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
   model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained(model_name)
   

4. Perform Translation: Translate text by tokenizing the input and feeding it to the model:

   text = "번역할 텍스트"
   inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True)
   translated = model.generate(**inputs)
   translation = tokenizer.decode(translated[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
   print(translation)
   

5. Hardware Recommendations: For faster processing, consider using cloud GPUs provided by platforms such as AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure.
