How to use

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM
import torch

repo_id = "Omarrran/koshur-diacritizer-byt5-small-v2"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(repo_id)
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(repo_id)
model.eval()

text = "یہاں اپنا غیر اعرابی کشمیری متن لکھیں"
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=256)

with torch.no_grad():
    ids = model.generate(
        **inputs,
        max_new_tokens=256,
        num_beams=1,
        do_sample=False,
    )

print(tokenizer.decode(ids[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

How to resume training

The latest full Trainer checkpoint is:

training-checkpoints/checkpoint-58897

For a Hugging Face Seq2SeqTrainer continuation, restore/copy that folder as the training output checkpoint and call:

trainer.train(resume_from_checkpoint="training-checkpoints/checkpoint-58897")

If continuing on Modal, keep the same data orientation, all 4 XLSX sources, bf16/L4 settings, and output/run format used in artifacts/run_config.json.

Important caveats

• This is not the final 30-epoch model. It is the best safe snapshot completed so far at epoch 11.
• The last run stopped after the checkpoint was saved, during the longer test/eval phase. The checkpoint is structurally complete.
• The source XLSX files themselves are not bundled here unless explicitly uploaded separately; the repo contains model/checkpoint/code/artifacts needed to use or resume when the dataset files are available.
