# Tilmash

<p align = "justify">
Tilmash was fine-tuned using Facebook’s <a href = "https://huggingface.co/facebook/nllb-200-distilled-1.3B">NLLB</a> model to enable machine translation for four languages—Kazakh, Russian, English, and Turkish.
Below are the <a href = "https://huggingface.co/spaces/evaluate-metric/bleu">BLEU</a> | <a href = "https://huggingface.co/spaces/evaluate-metric/chrf">chrF</a> results of evaluating Tilmash on the <a href = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/flores">FLoRes</a> and <a href = "https://huggingface.co/datasets/issai/kazparc">KazParC</a> test datasets.

## How to Get Started with the Model

<p align = "justify">You can use this model with the Transformers pipeline for translation.</p>

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer, TranslationPipeline

model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained('issai/tilmash')
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("issai/tilmash")

# for src_lang and tgt_lang choose from kaz_Cyrl (Kazakh), rus_Cyrl (Russian), eng_Latn (English), tur_Latn (Turkish)
tilmash = TranslationPipeline(model = model, tokenizer = tokenizer, src_lang = "kaz_Cyrl", tgt_lang = "eng_Latn", max_length = 1000)

print(tilmash("Қазақстан — Шығыс Еуропа мен Орталық Азияда орналасқан мемлекет."))
# [{'translation_text': 'Kazakhstan is a country located in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.'}]
```
