# TL;DR

MADLAD-400-3B-MT is a multilingual machine translation model based on the T5 architecture that was
trained on 1 trillion tokens covering over 450 languages using publicly available data.
It is competitive with models that are significantly larger.

**Disclaimer**: [Juarez Bochi](https://huggingface.co/jbochi), who was not involved in this research, converted 
the original weights and wrote the contents of this model card based on the original paper and Flan-T5.

# Model Details

# Usage

Find below some example scripts on how to use the model:

## Using the Pytorch model with `transformers`

### Running the model on a CPU or GPU

<details>
<summary> Click to expand </summary>

First, install the Python packages that are required:

`pip install transformers accelerate sentencepiece`

```python
from transformers import T5ForConditionalGeneration, T5Tokenizer

model_name = 'jbochi/madlad400-3b-mt'
model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained(model_name, device_map="auto")
tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

text = "<2pt> I love pizza!"
input_ids = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt").input_ids.to(model.device)
outputs = model.generate(input_ids=input_ids)

tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
# Eu adoro pizza!
```

</details>

## Running the model with Candle

<details>
<summary> Click to expand </summary>

Usage with [candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle):

```bash
$ cargo run --example t5 --release  -- \
  --model-id "jbochi/madlad400-3b-mt" \
  --prompt "<2de> How are you, my friend?" \
  --decode --temperature 0
```

We also provide a quantized model (1.65 GB vs the original 11.8 GB file):

```
cargo run --example quantized-t5 --release  -- \
  --model-id "jbochi/madlad400-3b-mt" --weight-file "model-q4k.gguf" \
  --prompt "<2de> How are you, my friend?" \
  --temperature 0
...
 Wie geht es dir, mein Freund?
```

# Uses

## Direct Use and Downstream Use

> Primary intended uses: Machine Translation and multilingual NLP tasks on over 400 languages.
> Primary intended users: Research community.

## Out-of-Scope Use

> These models are trained on general domain data and are therefore not meant to
> work on domain-specific models out-of-the box. Moreover, these research models have not been assessed
> for production usecases.

# Bias, Risks, and Limitations

> We note that we evaluate on only 204 of the languages supported by these models and on machine translation
> and few-shot machine translation tasks. Users must consider use of this model carefully for their own
> usecase.

## Ethical considerations and risks

> We trained these models with MADLAD-400 and publicly available data to create baseline models that
> support NLP for over 400 languages, with a focus on languages underrepresented in large-scale corpora.
> Given that these models were trained with web-crawled datasets that may contain sensitive, offensive or
> otherwise low-quality content despite extensive preprocessing, it is still possible that these issues to the
> underlying training data may cause differences in model performance and toxic (or otherwise problematic)
> output for certain domains. Moreover, large models are dual use technologies that have specific risks
> associated with their use and development. We point the reader to surveys such as those written by
> Weidinger et al. or Bommasani et al. for a more detailed discussion of these risks, and to Liebling
> et al. for a thorough discussion of the risks of machine translation systems.

# Training Details

> We train models of various sizes: a 3B, 32-layer parameter model,
> a 7.2B 48-layer parameter model and a 10.7B 32-layer parameter model.
> We share all parameters of the model across language pairs,
> and use a Sentence Piece Model with 256k tokens shared on both the encoder and decoder
> side. Each input sentence has a <2xx> token prepended to the source sentence to indicate the target
> language.

See the [research paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.04662.pdf) for further details.

## Training Data

> For both the machine translation and language model, MADLAD-400 is used. For the machine translation
> model, a combination of parallel datasources covering 157 languages is also used. Further details are
> described in the [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.04662.pdf).

## Training Procedure

See the [research paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.04662.pdf) for further details.

# Evaluation

## Testing Data, Factors & Metrics

> For evaluation, we used WMT, NTREX, Flores-200 and Gatones datasets as described in Section 4.3 in the [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2309.04662.pdf).

> The translation quality of this model varies based on language, as seen in the paper, and likely varies on
> domain, though we have not assessed this.
