This is a [COMET](https://github.com/Unbabel/COMET) evaluation model: It receives a triplet with (source sentence, translation, reference translation) and returns a score that reflects the quality of the translation compared to both source and reference. 

This model was developed using [UniTE](https://aclanthology.org/2022.acl-long.558/) architecture but using the same data and hyperparameters from [Unbabel/wmt22-comet-da](https://huggingface.co./Unbabel/wmt22-comet-da). 

We build this model for our paper: [The Inside Story](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.11806.pdf) (Rei et al., ACL 2023)

# Usage (unbabel-comet)

Using this model requires unbabel-comet to be installed:

```bash
pip install --upgrade pip  # ensures that pip is current 
pip install unbabel-comet
```

Then you can use it through comet CLI:

```bash
comet-score -s {source-inputs}.txt -t {translation-outputs}.txt -r {references}.txt --model Unbabel/wmt22-comet-da
```

Or using Python:

```python
from comet import download_model, load_from_checkpoint

model_path = download_model("Unbabel/wmt22-unite-da")
model = load_from_checkpoint(model_path)
data = [
    {
        "src": "Dem Feuer konnte Einhalt geboten werden",
        "mt": "The fire could be stopped",
        "ref": "They were able to control the fire."
    },
    {
        "src": "Schulen und Kindergärten wurden eröffnet.",
        "mt": "Schools and kindergartens were open",
        "ref": "Schools and kindergartens opened"
    }
]
model_output = model.predict(data, batch_size=8, gpus=1)
print (model_output)
```

# Intended uses

Our model is intented to be used for **MT evaluation**. 

Given a a triplet with (source sentence, translation, reference translation) outputs three scores that reflect the translation quality according to different inputs: 
- source score: [`mt`, `src`]
- reference score: [`mt`, `ref`]
- unified score: [`mt`, `src`, `ref`]
-
