 Description

ENGLISH: These models are capable of translating between English and Icelandic, in both directions. They are capable of translating several sentences at once and are robust to some input errors such as spelling errors. The models are based on the pretrained mBART25 model (http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12537/125, https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08210) and finetuned on bilingual EN-IS data and backtranslated data (including http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12537/260). The full backtranslation data used includes texts from the following sources: The Icelandic Gigaword Corpus (Without sport) (IGC), The Icelandic Common Crawl Corpus (IC3), Student theses (skemman.is), Greynir News, Wikipedia, Icelandic sagas, Icelandic e-books, Books3, NewsCrawl, Wikipedia, EuroPARL, Reykjavik Grapevine, Iceland Review. The true parallel long context data used is from European Economic Area (EEA) regulations, document-level Icelandic Student Theses Abstracts corpus (IPAC), Stúdentablaðið (university student magazine), The report of the Special Investigation Commision (Rannsóknarnefnd Alþingis), The Bible and Jehovah’s witnesses corpus (JW300). Provided here are model files, a SentencePiece subword-tokenizing model and dictionary files for running the model locally along with scripts for translating sentences on the command line. We refer to the included README for instructions on running inference. ÍSLENSKA: Þessi líkön geta þýtt á milli ensku og íslensku. Líkönin geta þýtt margar málsgreinar í einu og eru þolin gagnvart villum og smávægilegu fráviki í inntaki. Líkönin eru áframþjálfuð þýðingarlíkön sem voru þjálfuð frá mBART25 líkaninu (http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12537/125, https://arxiv.org/abs/2001.08210). Þjálfunargögin eru samhlíða ensk-íslensk gögn ásamt bakþýðingum (m.a. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12537/260). Einmála gögn sem voru bakþýdd og nýtt í þjálfanir eru fengin úr: Risamálheildinni (án íþróttafrétta), Icelandic Common Crawl Corpus (IC3), ritgerðum af skemman.is, fréttum í fréttagrunni Greynis, Wikipedia, íslendingasögurnar, opnar íslenskar rafbækur, Books3, NewsCrawl, Wikipedia, EuroPARL, Reykjavik Grapevine, Iceland Review. Samhliða raungögn eru fengin upp úr European Economic Area (EEA) reglugerðum, samröðuðum útdráttum úr ritgerðum nemenda (IPAC), Stúdentablaðið, Skýrsla Rannsóknarnefndar Alþingis, Biblíunni og samhliða málheild unna úr Varðturninum (JW300). Útgefin eru líkönin sjálf, orðflísunarlíkan og orðabók fyrir flísunina, ásamt skriptum til að keyra þýðingar frá skipanalínu. Nánari leiðbeiningar eru í README skjalinu.
