# Marco-MT-Algharb

This repository contains the system for Algharb, the submission from the Marco Translation Team of Alibaba International Digital Commerce (AIDC) to the WMT 2025 General Machine Translation Shared Task.

## Introduction

The Algharb system is a large translation model built based on the Qwen3-14B foundation. It is designed for high-quality translation across 13 diverse language directions and demonstrates state-of-the-art performance. Our approach is centered on a multi-stage refinement pipeline that systematically enhances translation fluency and faithfulness.

Supported language pairs:
| Languages pair | Chinese Names |
|---|---|
| en2zh |  英语到中文 |
| en2ja |  英语到日语 |
| en2ko |  英语到韩语 |
| en2ar |  英语到阿拉伯语 |
| en2et |  英语到爱沙尼亚语 |
| en2sr_latin |  英语到塞尔维亚语(拉丁化) |
| en2ru |  英语到俄语 |
| en2uk |  英语到乌克兰语 |
| en2cs |  英语到捷克语 |
| en2bho |  英语到博杰普尔语 |
| cs2uk |  捷克语到乌克兰语 |
| cs2de |  捷克语到德语 |
| ja2zh |  日语到中文 |

## Usage

The model expects a specific instruction format for translation. The following example demonstrates how to construct the prompt and perform generation using the vllm library for efficient inference.


### 1. Dependencies

First, ensure you have the necessary libraries installed:

```bash
pip install torch transformers==4.55.0 vllm==0.10.0 unbabel-comet==2.2.2
```

### 2. Prompt Format and Decoding

The core of the process involves formatting the input text into a specific prompt template and then using the vllm engine to generate translations. For our hybrid decoding strategy, we generate multiple candidates (n > 1) for later re-ranking.
The prompt template is:

```python
"Human: Please translate the following text into {target_language}: \n{source_text}<|im_end|>\nAssistant:"
```

Here is a complete Python example:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

model_path = "path/to/your/algharb_model"
llm = LLM(model=model_path)

source_text = "This paper presents the Algharb system, our submission to the WMT 2025."
source_lang_code = "en" 
target_lang_code = "zh"

lang_name_map = {
    "en": "english"
    "zh": "chinese",
    "ko": "korean",
    "ja": "japanese",
    "ar": "arabic",
    "cs": "czech",
    "ru": "russian",
    "uk": "ukraine",
    "et": "estonian",
    "bho": "bhojpuri",
    "sr_latin": "serbian",
    "de": "german",
}

target_language_name = lang_name_map.get(target_lang_code, "the target language")

prompt = (
    f"Human: Please translate the following text into {target_language_name}: \n"
    f"{source_text}<|im_end|>\n"
    f"Assistant:"
)

prompts_to_generate = [prompt]
print("Formatted Prompt:\n", prompt)

sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    n=1,
    temperature=0.001,
    top_p=0.001,
    max_tokens=512
)

outputs = llm.generate(prompts_to_generate, sampling_params)

for output in outputs:
    generated_text = output.outputs[0].strip()
    print(f"translation: {generated_text}")
```

## Apply MBR decoding
First, run random sample decoding:
```python
from vllm import LLM, SamplingParams

model_path = "path/to/your/algharb_model"
llm = LLM(model=model_path)

source_text = "This paper presents the Algharb system, our submission to the WMT 2025."
source_lang_code = "en" 
target_lang_code = "zh"

lang_name_map = {
    "en": "english"
    "zh": "chinese",
    "ko": "korean",
    "ja": "japanese",
    "ar": "arabic",
    "cs": "czech",
    "ru": "russian",
    "uk": "ukraine",
    "et": "estonian",
    "bho": "bhojpuri",
    "sr_latin": "serbian",
    "de": "german",
}

target_language_name = lang_name_map.get(target_lang_code, "the target language")


prompt = (
    f"Human: Please translate the following text into {target_language_name}: \n"
    f"{source_text}<|im_end|>\n"
    f"Assistant:"
)

prompts_to_generate = [prompt]
print("Formatted Prompt:\n", prompt)

sampling_params = SamplingParams(
    n=100,
    temperature=1,
    top_p=1,
    max_tokens=512
)

outputs = llm.generate(prompts_to_generate, sampling_params)

# The 'outputs' list contains one item for each prompt.
for output in outputs:
    prompt_used = output.prompt
    print(f"\n--- Candidates for source: '{source_text}' ---")
    
    # Each output object contains 'n' generated sequences.
    for i, candidate in enumerate(output.outputs):
        generated_text = candidate.text.strip()
        print(f"Candidate {i+1}: {generated_text}")
```
Then, run MBR decoding:
```bash
comet-mbr -s src.txt -t mbr_sample_100.txt -o mbr_trans.txt --num_samples 100 --gpus 1 --qe_model Unbabel/wmt22-cometkiwi-da
```
Note: Word alignment for MBR reranking will be available soon.
