# FSMT ## Overview FSMT (FairSeq MachineTranslation) models were introduced in [Facebook FAIR's WMT19 News Translation Task Submission](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.06616) by Nathan Ng, Kyra Yee, Alexei Baevski, Myle Ott, Michael Auli, Sergey Edunov. The abstract of the paper is the following: *This paper describes Facebook FAIR's submission to the WMT19 shared news translation task. We participate in two language pairs and four language directions, English <-> German and English <-> Russian. Following our submission from last year, our baseline systems are large BPE-based transformer models trained with the Fairseq sequence modeling toolkit which rely on sampled back-translations. This year we experiment with different bitext data filtering schemes, as well as with adding filtered back-translated data. We also ensemble and fine-tune our models on domain-specific data, then decode using noisy channel model reranking. Our submissions are ranked first in all four directions of the human evaluation campaign. On En->De, our system significantly outperforms other systems as well as human translations. This system improves upon our WMT'18 submission by 4.5 BLEU points.* This model was contributed by [stas](https://huggingface.co/stas). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/wmt19). ## Implementation Notes - FSMT uses source and target vocabulary pairs that aren't combined into one. It doesn't share embeddings tokens either. Its tokenizer is very similar to [`XLMTokenizer`] and the main model is derived from [`BartModel`]. ## FSMTConfig [[autodoc]] FSMTConfig ## FSMTTokenizer [[autodoc]] FSMTTokenizer - build_inputs_with_special_tokens - get_special_tokens_mask - create_token_type_ids_from_sequences - save_vocabulary ## FSMTModel [[autodoc]] FSMTModel - forward ## FSMTForConditionalGeneration [[autodoc]] FSMTForConditionalGeneration - forward
