How to Use the Terjman-Nano Model for Translation

May 20, 2024 | Educational

The Terjman-Nano model is a powerful tool for translating Moroccan Darija Arabizi to Arabic using advanced natural language processing techniques. Built on the Transformer architecture, this model is fine-tuned on the Helsinki-NLPopus-mt-en-ar dataset and offers results that make it a valuable asset for those in need of high-quality translations. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to effortlessly use the Terjman-Nano model for your translation needs.

Getting Started with Terjman-Nano

Using the Terjman-Nano model is a straightforward process. Here’s how you can seamlessly integrate it into your projects using the Hugging Face Transformers library.

Installation

  • Make sure you have Python installed on your machine.
  • Install the Hugging Face Transformers library using pip:
pip install transformers

Using the Model

To utilize the Terjman-Nano model for translation, follow these simple steps:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM

# Load the tokenizer and model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("atlasia/Terjman-Nano")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("atlasia/Terjman-Nano")

# Define your Moroccan Darija Arabizi text
input_text = "Your english text goes here."

# Tokenize the input text
input_tokens = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors='pt', padding=True, truncation=True)

# Perform translation
output_tokens = model.generate(**input_tokens)

# Decode the output tokens
output_text = tokenizer.decode(output_tokens[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

print("Translation:", output_text)

Understanding the Code with an Analogy

Think of using the Terjman-Nano model like preparing a delicate dish in a kitchen. Here’s how the code works in that context:

  • Gather Ingredients: First, you load the tokenizer and model (like fetching your ingredients from the pantry). You need the right tools to prepare your dish—analogous to how the tokenizer and model are essential for processing translations.
  • Prepare Your Ingredients: You define your input text (your base ingredients), which is the text you want to translate.
  • Chop and Measure: Tokenizing the input text is like chopping and measuring your ingredients. The model takes this input and prepares it for the cooking process—i.e., translation.
  • Cooking: Performing translation is akin to cooking your dish. You let the model process the input and generate an output (yield the final dish).
  • Serving: Finally, decoding the output tokens is like plating your dish, ready to serve to your guests (or in this case, the users who need the translation).

Example Output

Let’s see what a typical translation looks like:

Input: Hi my friend, can you tell me a joke in moroccan darija? I’d be happy to hear that from you!

Output: مرحبا يا صديقي، يمكن تقال لي نكتة فالداريا المغاربية؟ أنا سَأكُونُ سعيد بسمْاع هادشي منك!

Limitations

This version has some limitations, mainly due to the Tokenizer being used. We are actively working on collecting more data to continuously improve the model’s performance.
