Welcome to the exciting realm of AI-powered translation! In this guide, we will walk you through the steps needed to utilize the Taigi-Llama-2-Translator, a robust model designed to translate between Taiwanese Hokkien and other languages. Whether you’re trying to bridge linguistic gaps or dive deeper into the Taiwanese Hokkien language, this tool is here to help.

What is Taigi-Llama-2-Translator?

The Taigi-Llama-2-Translator is an advanced translation model based on the Taigi-Llama-2 series, fine-tuned on a massive dataset of 263,000 parallel texts. It specializes in translating between Traditional Chinese, English, and various scripts of Taiwanese Hokkien (Hanzi, POJ, Hanlo). With this model, you’re equipped to explore the intricate world of Taiwanese Hokkien language!

Setting Up the Model

To start using the Taigi-Llama-2-Translator, you must first set it up in your environment. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

• Install Required Libraries: Ensure you have the required libraries. You can install them using pip:

pip install transformers torch accelerate

• Import Necessary Modules: Begin by importing required packages in your Python script:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer, TextGenerationPipeline
import torch
import accelerate

• Load the Model and Tokenizer: Utilize the following code snippets to load the model:

model_dir = "BohanluTaigi-Llama-2-Translator-7B"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_dir, use_fast=False)
accelerator = accelerate.Accelerator()

• Create a Translation Pipeline: Use the code provided to create your pipeline for translation:

def get_pipeline(path: str, tokenizer: AutoTokenizer, accelerator: accelerate.Accelerator) -> TextGenerationPipeline:
    model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained(path, torch_dtype=torch.float16, device_map="auto", trust_remote_code=True)
    terminators = [tokenizer.eos_token_id, tokenizer.pad_token_id]
    pipeline = TextGenerationPipeline(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, num_workers=accelerator.state.num_processes * 4, pad_token_id=tokenizer.pad_token_id, eos_token_id=terminators)
    return pipeline

pipe = get_pipeline(model_dir, tokenizer, accelerator)

How Does It Work?

Imagine the Taigi-Llama-2-Translator as a skilled librarian who, when presented with a query in one language, quickly ferrets through countless books to find the equivalent in another language. It reads the nuances of context and delivers an accurate translation, just as your librarian would find the right book to address your question.

When you provide a sentence for translation, the model will identify the source language and convert it to the target language based on the specified parameters—be it Hanzi, POJ, Hanlo, Traditional Chinese, or English.

Usage Example

Once your setup is ready, you’re all set to translate! Here’s an example:

source_sentence = "How are you today?"
print("To Hanzi: ", translate(source_sentence, "HAN"))  # Output: To Hanzi: 
print("To POJ: ", translate(source_sentence, "POJ"))    # Output: To POJ: Lí kin-á-ji̍t án-chóaⁿ?
print("To Traditional Chinese: ", translate(source_sentence, "ZH"))  # Output: To Traditional Chinese: 
print("To Hanlo: ", translate(source_sentence, "HL"))   # Output: To Hanlo: 

Troubleshooting

Despite your best efforts, you may encounter some hiccups along the way. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Model Not Loading: Ensure that you have a stable internet connection as the model is loaded from Hugging Face’s repository.
• Translation Inaccuracies: If the translations don’t seem right, check the input format. Ensure there’s a newline at the end.
• Environment Errors: Verify that all required libraries are correctly installed and compatible with your Python version.
