🛠️ Usage

Basic Usage

from transformers import MarianMTModel, MarianTokenizer

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "dhintech/marian-tedtalks-id-en"
tokenizer = MarianTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = MarianMTModel.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Translate Indonesian to English
def translate(text):
    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", padding=True, truncation=True, max_length=96)
    outputs = model.generate(
        **inputs, 
        max_length=96, 
        num_beams=3,  # Optimized for speed
        early_stopping=True,
        do_sample=False
    )
    return tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)

# Example usage
indonesian_text = "Selamat pagi, mari kita mulai rapat hari ini."
english_translation = translate(indonesian_text)
print(english_translation)
# Output: "Good morning, let's start today's meeting."

Optimized Production Usage

        self.model.eval()
        if torch.cuda.is_available():
            self.model = self.model.cuda()
            
    def translate(self, text, max_length=96):
        start_time = time.time()

            )
            
        translation = self.tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True)
        translation_time = time.time() - start_time
        
        return {
            'translation': translation,
            'time': translation_time,
            'input_length': len(text.split()),
            'output_length': len(translation.split())
        }

# Usage example
translator = OptimizedMeetingTranslator()
result = translator.translate("Apakah ada pertanyaan mengenai proposal ini?")
print(f"Translation: {result['translation']}")
print(f"Time: {result['time']:.3f}s")

Batch Translation for Multiple Sentences

def batch_translate(sentences, translator):
    results = []
    total_time = 0
    
    for sentence in sentences:
        result = translator.translate(sentence)
        results.append(result)
        total_time += result['time']
    
    return {
        'results': results,
        'total_time': total_time,
        'average_time': total_time / len(sentences),
        'sentences_per_second': len(sentences) / total_time
    }

# Example batch translation
meeting_sentences = [
    "Selamat pagi, mari kita mulai rapat hari ini.",
    "Apakah ada pertanyaan mengenai proposal ini?",
    "Tim marketing akan bertanggung jawab untuk strategi ini.",
    "Mari kita diskusikan timeline implementasi project ini."
]

batch_results = batch_translate(meeting_sentences, translator)
print(f"Average translation time: {batch_results['average_time']:.3f}s")
print(f"Throughput: {batch_results['sentences_per_second']:.1f} sentences/second")
