What is wenyanwen-chinese-translate-to-ancient?
This is a specialized translation model designed to convert Modern Chinese text into Classical Chinese (文言文). Built using an encoder-decoder architecture, the model has been trained on over 900,000 sentence pairs, making it a robust tool for classical Chinese text generation.
Implementation Details
The model utilizes PyTorch and the Transformers library, implementing an encoder-decoder architecture specifically optimized for Chinese language translation. It requires specific configuration during inference, particularly setting the eos_token_id to 102 for complete translation output.
- Trained on 900K+ parallel sentence pairs
- Implements beam search with num_beams=3
- Supports maximum sequence length of 128 tokens
- Includes special token handling for optimal translation
Core Capabilities
- Accurate translation from modern to classical Chinese
- Handles both short phrases and complete sentences
- Maintains classical Chinese linguistic style and grammar
- Supports batch processing with proper tokenization
