# en-toki-mt

This model is a fine-tuned version of [Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-ROMANCE](https://huggingface.co/Helsinki-NLP/opus-mt-en-ROMANCE) on the English - toki pona translation  dataset on Tatoeba.

## Model description

toki pona is a minimalist constructed language created in 2014 by Sonja Lang. The language features a very small volcabulary (~130 words) and a very simple grammar structure. 

## Intended uses & limitations

This model aims to translate English to Toki pona.

## Training and evaluation data

The training data is acquired from all En-Toki sentence pairs on [Tatoeba](https://tatoeba.org/en) (~20000 pairs), without any filtering. Since this dataset mostly only includes core words (pu), it may produce inaccurate results when encountering more complex words. The model achieved a BLEU score of 54 on the testing set.
