OpusMT-Zh-En: Optimized for Qualcomm Devices
OpusMT Chinese to English translation model is a state-of-the-art neural machine translation system designed for translating Chinese text into English. This model is based on the Marian transformer architecture and has been optimized for edge inference by splitting into encoder and decoder components with modified attention mechanisms. It exhibits robust performance for real-world translation tasks, making it highly reliable for practical applications. The model supports input sequences up to 256 tokens and can generate English translations with high accuracy.
This is based on the implementation of OpusMT-Zh-En found here. This repository contains pre-exported model files optimized for Qualcomm® devices. You can use the Qualcomm® AI Hub Models library to export with custom configurations. More details on model performance across various devices, can be found here.
Qualcomm AI Hub Models uses Qualcomm AI Hub Workbench to compile, profile, and evaluate this model. Sign up to run these models on a hosted Qualcomm® device.
