# English to Hawaiian Pidgin Translation | flan-t5-base-eng-hwp

This model is a fine-tuned version of [google/flan-t5-base](https://huggingface.co/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](https://huggingface.co/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](https://huggingface.co/spaces/claudiatang/english_to_hawaiian-pidgin) 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](https://huggingface.co/datasets/bible_para), was compiled by scraping the Hawaiʻi Pidgin Version (HWP) and the King James Version (KJV) from [biblegateway.com](https://www.biblegateway.com/). <!--- For more information, please refer to [this notebook](). -->

## 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.
