# Model Card for mbart-large-50-verbalization

## Model Description
`mbart-large-50-verbalization` is a fine-tuned version of the [facebook/mbart-large-50](https://huggingface.co/facebook/mbart-large-50) model, specifically designed for the task of verbalizing Ukrainian text to prepare it for Text-to-Speech (TTS) systems. This model aims to transform structured data like numbers and dates into their fully expanded textual representations in Ukrainian.

## Architecture
This model is based on the [facebook/mbart-large-50](https://huggingface.co/facebook/mbart-large-50) architecture, renowned for its effectiveness in translation and text generation tasks across numerous languages.

## Training Data
The model was fine-tuned on a subset of 457,610 sentences from the Ubertext dataset, focusing on news content. The verbalized equivalents were created using Google Gemini Pro, providing a rich basis for learning text transformation tasks.
Dataset [skypro1111/ubertext-2-news-verbalized](https://huggingface.co/datasets/skypro1111/ubertext-2-news-verbalized)

## Training Procedure
The model underwent 410,000 training steps (1 epoch).

```python
from transformers import MBartForConditionalGeneration, AutoTokenizer, Trainer, TrainingArguments
from datasets import load_dataset, DatasetDict
import torch

model_name = "facebook/mbart-large-50"

dataset = load_dataset("skypro1111/ubertext-2-news-verbalized")
dataset = dataset.train_test_split(test_size=0.1)
datasets = DatasetDict({
    'train': dataset['train'],
    'test': dataset['test']
})

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer.src_lang = "uk_XX"
tokenizer.tgt_lang = "uk_XX"


def preprocess_data(examples):
    model_inputs = tokenizer(examples["inputs"], max_length=1024, truncation=True, padding="max_length")
    with tokenizer.as_target_tokenizer():
        labels = tokenizer(examples["labels"], max_length=1024, truncation=True, padding="max_length")
    model_inputs["labels"] = labels["input_ids"]
    return model_inputs

datasets = datasets.map(preprocess_data, batched=True)

model = MBartForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_name)

training_args = TrainingArguments(
    output_dir=f"./results/{model_name}-verbalization",
    evaluation_strategy="steps",
    eval_steps=5000,
    save_strategy="steps",
    save_steps=1000,
    save_total_limit=40,
    learning_rate=2e-5,
    per_device_train_batch_size=2,
    per_device_eval_batch_size=2,
    num_train_epochs=2,
    weight_decay=0.01,
)

trainer = Trainer(
    model=model,
    args=training_args,
    train_dataset=datasets["train"],
    eval_dataset=datasets["test"],
)

trainer.train()
trainer.save_model(f"./saved_models/{model_name}-verbalization")
```

## Usage
```python
from transformers import MBartForConditionalGeneration, AutoTokenizer
import torch

device = "cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"

model_name = "skypro1111/mbart-large-50-verbalization"

model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(
        model_name,
        low_cpu_mem_usage=True,
        device_map=device,
)
model.eval()
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer.src_lang = "uk_XX"
tokenizer.tgt_lang = "uk_XX"

input_text = "<verbalization>:Цей додаток вийде 15.06.2025."

encoded_input = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=1024).to(device)
output_ids = model.generate(**encoded_input, max_length=1024, num_beams=5, early_stopping=True)
output_text = tokenizer.decode(output_ids[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

print(output_text)
```

## Performance
Evaluation metrics were not explicitly used for this model. Its performance is primarily demonstrated through its application in enhancing the naturalness of TTS outputs.

## Limitations and Ethical Considerations
Users should be aware of the model's potential limitations in understanding highly nuanced or domain-specific content. Ethical considerations, including fairness and bias, are also crucial when deploying this model in real-world applications.
