# `quickmt-zh-en` Neural Machine Translation Model
# Usage
## Install `quickmt`
```bash
git clone https://github.com/quickmt/quickmt.git
pip install ./quickmt/
```
## Download model
```bash
quickmt-model-download quickmt/quickmt-zh-en ./quickmt-zh-en
```
## Use model
Inference with `quickmt`:
```python
from quickmt import Translator
# Auto-detects GPU, set to "cpu" to force CPU inference
t = Translator("./quickmt-zh-en/", device="auto")
# Translate - set beam size to 5 for higher quality (but slower speed)
t(["他补充道:“我们现在有 4 个月大没有糖尿病的老鼠,但它们曾经得过该病。”"], beam_size=1)
# Get alternative translations by sampling
# You can pass any cTranslate2 `translate_batch` arguments
t(["他补充道:“我们现在有 4 个月大没有糖尿病的老鼠,但它们曾经得过该病。”"], sampling_temperature=1.2, beam_size=1, sampling_topk=50, sampling_topp=0.9)
```
The model is in `ctranslate2` format, and the tokenizers are `sentencepiece`, so you can use the model files directly if you want. It would be fairly easy to get them to work with e.g. [LibreTranslate](https://libretranslate.com/) which also uses `ctranslate2` and `sentencepiece`.
# Model Information
* Trained using [`eole`](https://github.com/eole-nlp/eole)
- It took about 1 day on a single RTX 4090 on [vast.ai](https://cloud.vast.ai)
* Exported for fast inference to []CTranslate2](https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2) format
* Training data: https://huggingface.co/datasets/quickmt/quickmt-train.zh-en/tree/main
## Metrics
BLEU and CHRF2 calculated with [sacrebleu](https://github.com/mjpost/sacrebleu) on the Flores200 `devtest` test set ("zho_Hans"->"eng_Latn").
"Time" is the time to translate the following input with a single CPU core:
> 2019冠状病毒病(英語:Coronavirus disease 2019,缩写:COVID-19[17][18]),是一種由嚴重急性呼吸系統綜合症冠狀病毒2型(縮寫:SARS-CoV-2)引發的傳染病,导致了一场持续的疫情,成为人類歷史上致死人數最多的流行病之一。

`quickmt-zh-en` is the fastest and delivers fairly high quality.
Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-zh-en is one of the most downloaded machine translation models on HuggingFace, and this model is considerably more accurate *and* a bit faster.
