# Model Description 
Refer to [https://github.com/qiyuw/WSPAlign](https://github.com/qiyuw/WSPAlign) and [https://github.com/qiyuw/WSPAlign.InferEval](https://github.com/qiyuw/WSPAlign.InferEval) for details.

# Qucik Usage

First clone inference repository:
```
git clone https://github.com/qiyuw/WSPAlign.InferEval.git
```
Then install the requirements following [https://github.com/qiyuw/WSPAlign.InferEval](https://github.com/qiyuw/WSPAlign.InferEval). For inference only `transformers`, `SpaCy` and `torch` are required.

Finally, run the following example:
```
python inference.py --model_name_or_path qiyuw/WSPAlign-ft-kftt --src_lang ja --src_text="私は猫が好きです。" --tgt_lang en --tgt_text="I like cats."
```
Check `inference.py` for details usage.
