In an increasingly globalized world, the ability to effectively translate between languages is essential. If you want to leverage AI for this purpose, the C3TR-Adapter is an excellent option for improving Japanese-English and English-Japanese translation performance. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to set it up and use it effectively.

Getting Started with C3TR-Adapter

The C3TR-Adapter is a QLoRA Adapter that enhances translation capabilities of the gemma-2-9b model released by Google. If you’re ready to dive into the world of AI translations, follow these steps:

1. Model Installation

• Required Libraries: Ensure that you have the latest versions of the necessary libraries installed.
• Install PyTorch using the following command:

pip install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu121

• Then install the additional packages with:

pip install transformers==4.42.3
pip install peft==0.11.1
pip install bitsandbytes==0.43.1

2. Sample Code

Here is a simple analogy to make the code easier to understand: think of the model as a skilled translator standing in a room with a variety of books (data) to refer to. It’s essential to guide the translator on which context to focus (instructive hints). The code creates a path that informs the translator on how to pick the right book and what style to use.

import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer
from peft import PeftModel

model_id = 'unsloth/gemma-2-9b-it-bnb-4bit'
peft_model_id = 'webbigdata/C3TR-Adapter'

# Check for GPU support
dtype = torch.bfloat16 if torch.cuda.is_available() and torch.cuda.get_device_capability(0)[0] == 8 else torch.float16

# Load the model
model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(model_id, torch_dtype=dtype, device_map='auto')
model = PeftModel.from_pretrained(model=model, model_id=peft_model_id)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
tokenizer.pad_token = tokenizer.unk_token

3. Translation Function

Just as our translator needs specific instructions on how to interpret the data, you’ll implement a function to guide the AI on how to handle translations:

def trans(my_str):
    input_ids = tokenizer(my_str, return_tensors='pt', padding=True, max_length=1800, truncation=True).input_ids.cuda()
    
    # Translation
    generated_ids = model.generate(input_ids=input_ids, max_new_tokens=900, use_cache=True, 
                                    do_sample=True, num_beams=3, temperature=0.5, top_p=0.3, 
                                    repetition_penalty=1.0)
    
    full_outputs = tokenizer.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)
    return full_outputs[0].split('### Response:')[-1].strip()

4. Execute a Translation

Now that everything is set up, you’re ready to execute a translation!

ret = trans("You are a highly skilled professional Japanese-English and English-Japanese translator.")
print(ret)

Troubleshooting Ideas

If you run into any issues during installation or execution, consider the following troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure that all dependencies are installed correctly. Re-run the installation commands if necessary.
• Check your GPU memory. The model requires around 8.3 GB of GPU RAM. If you receive memory errors, consider using the gguf version that can run without a GPU.
• Ensure that the input format follows the correct prompt structure to avoid truncation or undesired repetitions.
• If you face incompatibility issues, consider updating your libraries to the latest versions via the commands provided.
