# Model Card for GaMS-DPO-Translator
GaMS-9B-Instruct-DPO-Translator is a fine-tuned version of GaMS-9B-Instruct. Direct Preference Optimization (DPO) was performed on the original model. The learning dataset was synthetially generated by using GaMS-9B-SFT-Translator and EuroLLM-9B-Instruct.

## Basic information
- **Developed by:** team of researchers at the University of Ljubljana, Faculty for Computer and Information Science. Team members: Dario Vajda, Domen Vreš and Marko Robnik-Šikonja.
- **Languages:** Slovene, English (primary), Croatian, Bosnian and Serbian (secondary). The model might also work for other languages supported by Gemma 2, even though it was not continually pretrained on them.
- **Base model:** [cjvt/GaMS-9B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/cjvt/GaMS-9B-Instruct)
- **License:** [Gemma](https://ai.google.dev/gemma/terms)
## Usage
The model can be run through `pipeline` API using the following code:
```python
from transformers import pipeline
model_id = "GaMS-Beta/GaMS-9B-Instruct-DPO-Translator"
pline = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model_id,
device_map="cuda" # replace with "mps" to run on a Mac device
)
# Example of response generation
message = [{"role": "user", "content": "Prevedi naslednje angleško besedilo v slovenščino.\nToday is a nice day."}]
response = pline(message, max_new_tokens=512)
print("Translation:", response[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])
```
For multi GPU inference set the `device_map` to `auto`:
```python
from transformers import pipeline
model_id = "GaMS-Beta/GaMS-9B-Instruct-DPO-Translator"
pline = pipeline(
"text-generation",
model=model_id,
device_map="auto"
)
# Example of response generation
message = [{"role": "user", "content": "Prevedi naslednje angleško besedilo v slovenščino.\nToday is a nice day."}]
response = pline(message, max_new_tokens=512)
print("Model's response:", response[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])
# Example of conversation chain
new_message = response[0]["generated_text"]
new_message.append({"role": "user", "content": "Lahko bolj podrobno opišeš ta dogodek?"})
response = pline(new_message, max_new_tokens=1024)
print("Model's response:", response[0]["generated_text"][-1]["content"])
```
## Data
Data for fine-tuning the original model was acquired by translating a large corpora of wikipedia articles, ccnews articles, bookcorpus texts and english conversational datasets by two models(GaMS-9B-SFT-Translator and EuroLLM-9B-Instruct) which were then ranked by some automatic metrics for translation quality and reliability.
## Training
The model was trained on the [Vega HPC](https://izum.si/vega_slv/)
## Evaluation
The model was evaluated by our custom script on three types of data. The results are show in the following table.
