OpusCleaner is a machine translation/language model data cleaner and training scheduler. The Training scheduler has moved to OpusTrainer.
The cleaner bit takes care of downloading and cleaning multiple different datasets and preparing them for translation.
opuscleaner-clean --parallel 4 data/train-parts/dataset.filter.json | gzip -c > clean.gz
If you just want to use OpusCleaner for cleaning, you can install it from PyPI, and then run it
pip3 install opuscleaner
opuscleaner-server
Then you can go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to show the interface.
You can also install and run OpusCleaner on a remote machine, and use SSH local forwarding (e.g. ssh -L 8000:localhost:8000 [email protected]
) to access the interface on your local machine.
(Mainly listed as shortcuts to documentation)
- FastAPI as the base for the backend part.
- Pydantic for conversion of untyped JSON to typed objects. And because FastAPI automatically supports it and gives you useful error messages if you mess up things.
- Vue for frontend
List and categorize the datasets you are going to use for training.
Download more datasets right from the interface.
Filter each individual dataset, showing you the results immediately.
Compare the dataset at different stages of filtering to see what the impact is of each filter.
OpusCleaner scans for datasets and finds them automatically if they're in the right format. When you download OPUS data, it will get converted to this format, and there's nothing stopping you from adding your own in the same format.
By default, it scans for files matching data/train-parts/*.*.gz
and will derive which files make up a dataset from the filenames: name.en.gz
and name.de.gz
will be a dataset called name. The files are your standard moses format: a single sentence per line, and each Nth line in the first file will match with the Nth line of the second file.
When in doubt, just download one of the OPUS datasets through OpusCleaner, and replicate the format for your own dataset.
If you want to use another path, you can use the DATA_PATH
environment variable to change it, e.g. run DATA_PATH="./my-datasets/*.*.gz" opuscleaner-server
.
data/train-parts
is scanned for datasets. You can change this by setting theDATA_PATH
environment variable, the default isdata/train-parts/*.*.gz
.filters
should contain filter json files. You can change theFILTER_PATH
environment variable, the default is<PYTHON_PACKAGE>/filters/*.json
.
For building from source (i.e. git, not anything downloaded from Pypi) you'll need to have node + npm installed.
python3 -m venv .env
bash --init-file .env/bin/activate
pip install -e .
Finally you can run opuscleaner-server
as normal. The --reload
option will cause it to restart when any of the python files change.
opuscleaner-server serve --reload
Then go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ for the "interface" or http://127.0.0.1:8000/docs for the API.
If you're doing frontend development, try also running:
cd frontend
npm run dev
Then go to http://127.0.0.1:5173/ for the "interface".
This will put vite in hot-reloading mode for easier Javascript dev. All API requests will be proxied to the python server running in 8000, which is why you need to run both at the same time.
If you want to use LASER, you will also need to download its assets:
python -m laserembeddings download-models
Run npm build
in the frontend/
directory first, and then run hatch build .
in the project directory to build the wheel and source distribution.
To push a new release to Pypi from Github, tag a commit with a vX.Y.Z
version number (including the v
prefix). Then publish a release on Github. This should trigger a workflow that pushes a sdist + wheel to pypi.
