English to Hawaiian Pidgin Translation | flan-t5-base-eng-hwp
This model is a fine-tuned version of google/flan-t5-base on a English and Hawaiian Pidgin dataset. It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 1.5821
- Bleu: 5.0891
- Gen Len: 18.8633
Model description
Running the model
The google/flan-t5-base documentation has more details on running the model.
However, to use this model to translate English to Hawaiian Pidgin, enter "translate English to Hawaiian Pidgin: " before your statement.
For example, if you would like to translate "I went to Ala Moana today to go shopping" please tokenize all of the following:
translate English to Hawaiian Pidgin: I went to Ala Moana today to go shopping.
If you are trying the English-Hawaiian Pidgin Translator space, there is no need for the input prefix, as it is automatically added.
Training and evaluation data
There are not many English-Hawaiian Pidgin parallel corpora that are easily accessible. A parallel dataset, similar to bible_para, was compiled by scraping the Hawaiʻi Pidgin Version (HWP) and the King James Version (KJV) from biblegateway.com.
Intended uses & limitations
Due to a limited set of training and evaluation data, this model has many limitations, such as not knowing certain Hawaiian Pidgin phrases or having trouble with longer sentences.
