This is our fine-tuned mDeBERTa SEA translationese classifier for the "SEACrowd: A Multilingual Multimodal Data Hub and Benchmark Suite for Southeast Asian Languages" paper.

SEACrowd is a collaborative initiative that consolidates a comprehensive resource hub that fills the resource gap by providing standardized corpora in nearly 1,000 Southeast Asian (SEA) languages across three modalities.

Model Card for Model ID

To analyze the generation quality of LLMs in SEA languages, we build a text classifier to discriminate between translationese and natural texts. We construct a translationese classification training and testing dataset using 49 and 62 data subsets, respectively, covering approximately 39.9k and 51.5k sentences across 9 SEA languages: English (eng), Indonesian (ind), Khmer (khm), Lao (lao), Burmese (mya), Filipino (fil), Thai (tha), Vietnamese (vie), and Malay (zlm).

Our translationese vs. natural train/test data is available on SEACrowd/sea_translationese_resampled.

To fine-tune the translationese classifier, check out our experiments repository on GitHub. We use a binary label (translationese, i.e., machine-translated or human-translated, or natural, i.e., human-generated) instead of 3 labels (machine-translated, human-translated, human-generated).

Model Sources

Uses

To discriminate between translationese and natural texts in 9 SEA languages: English (eng), Indonesian (ind), Khmer (khm), Lao (lao), Burmese (mya), Filipino (fil), Thai (tha), Vietnamese (vie), and Malay (zlm).

Direct Use

The model is developed for detecting whether a text is human-translated, machine-translated, or natural. The model supports 9 languages: eng, ind, khm, lao, mya, fil, tha, vie, zsm

The label mapping of the model is defined as follows:

{0: 'Human-translated', 1: 'Machine-translated', 2: 'Natural'}

where both 0 and 1 correspond to translationese and 2 is natural.

Out-of-Scope Use

  • Use in any manner that violates applicable laws or regulations (including trade compliance laws).
  • Use in any other way that is prohibited by the Acceptable Use Policy and Apache 2.0 License.
  • Use in languages other than the 9 supported languages.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

The model achieves 79.08% accuracy on translationese (combining human-translated and machine-translated) vs natural in our evaluation——averaged across the aforementioned SEA languages. Users should be aware of the risks that there might be potential error produced by the model.

See our paper for more details.

Recommendations

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model.

How to Use the Model

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('SEACrowd/mdeberta-v3_sea_translationese')
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained('SEACrowd/mdeberta-v3_sea_translationese')
inputs = tokenizer('<INPUT_TEXT>', padding='longest', max_length=512, truncation=True)
outputs = model(**inputs)
