legal_t5_small_trans_it_de model

Model on translating legal text from Italian to Deustch. It was first released in this repository. This model is trained on three parallel corpus from jrc-acquis, europarl and dcep.

Model description

legal_t5_small_trans_it_de is based on the t5-small model and was trained on a large corpus of parallel text. This is a smaller model, which scales the baseline model of t5 down by using dmodel = 512, dff = 2,048, 8-headed attention, and only 6 layers each in the encoder and decoder. This variant has about 60 million parameters.

Intended uses & limitations

The model could be used for translation of legal texts from Italian to Deustch.

How to use

Here is how to use this model to translate legal text from Italian to Deustch in PyTorch:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelWithLMHead, TranslationPipeline

pipeline = TranslationPipeline(
model=AutoModelWithLMHead.from_pretrained("SEBIS/legal_t5_small_trans_it_de"),
tokenizer=AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(pretrained_model_name_or_path = "SEBIS/legal_t5_small_trans_it_de", do_lower_case=False, 
                                            skip_special_tokens=True),
    device=0
)

it_text = "presentata con richiesta di iscrizione all'ordine del giorno della discussione su problemi di attualità, urgenti e di notevole rilevanza"

pipeline([it_text], max_length=512)

Training data

The legal_t5_small_trans_it_de model was trained on JRC-ACQUIS, EUROPARL, and DCEP dataset consisting of 5 Million parallel texts.

Training procedure

The model was trained on a single TPU Pod V3-8 for 250K steps in total, using sequence length 512 (batch size 4096). It has a total of approximately 220M parameters and was trained using the encoder-decoder architecture. The optimizer used is AdaFactor with inverse square root learning rate schedule for pre-training.

Preprocessing

An unigram model trained with 88M lines of text from the parallel corpus (of all possible language pairs) to get the vocabulary (with byte pair encoding), which is used with this model.

Pretraining

Evaluation results

When the model is used for translation test dataset, achieves the following results:
