# Model Card for Model ID

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This is a pre-trained language translation model that aims to create a translation system for English and Swahili lanuages. It is a fine-tuned version of Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-swc on an unknown dataset. 

## Model Details

- Transformer architecture used
- Trained on a 210000 corpus pairs
- Pre-trained Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-swc
- 2 models to enforce biderectional translation
### Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->



- **Developed by:** Peter Rogendo, Frederick Kioko
- **Model type:** Transformer
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Transformer, Pandas, Numpy
- **License:** Distributed under the MIT License
- **Finetuned from model [Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-swc]:** [This pre-trained model was re-trained on a swahili-english sentence pairs that were collected across Kenya. Swahili is the national language and is among the top three of the most spoken language in Africa. The sentences that were used to train this model were 210000 in total.]

### Model Sources [optional]

<!-- Provide the basic links for the model. -->

- **Repository:** [https://github.com/Rogendo/Eng-Swa-Translator]
- **Paper [optional]:** 
- **Demo [optional]:** 

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->
This translation model is intended to be used in many cases, from language translators, screen assistants, to even in official cases such as translating legal documents.

### Direct Use

<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper

        from transformers import pipeline
        
        pipe = pipeline("text2text-generation", model="Rogendo/sw-en")

# Load model directly

        from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
        
        tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Rogendo/sw-en")
        model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("Rogendo/sw-en")

### Downstream Use [optional]

<!-- This section is for the model use when fine-tuned for a task, or when plugged into a larger ecosystem/app -->

### Recommendations

<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model. More information needed for further recommendations.

## How to Get Started with the Model

# Use a pipeline as a high-level helper

        from transformers import pipeline
        
        pipe = pipeline("text2text-generation", model="Rogendo/sw-en")

# Load model directly

        from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
        
        tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Rogendo/sw-en")
        model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained("Rogendo/sw-en")
