This model predicts the punctuation of Welsh language texts. It has been created to restore punctuation of transcribed from speech recognition models such as https://huggingface.co/techiaith/wav2vec2-xlsr-ft-cy. The model restores the following punctuation markers: "." "," "?" "-" ":"

The model was trained on Welsh texts extracted from the Welsh Parliament / Senedd Record of Proceedings between 1999-2010 and 2016 to the present day. Please note that the training data consists of originally spoken and translated political speeches. Therefore the model might perform differently on texts from other domains.

Based on the work of https://github.com/oliverguhr/fullstop-deep-punctuation-prediction and softcatala/fullstop-catalan-punctuation-prediction

Install

To get started install the deepmultilingualpunctuation package from pypi:

pip install deepmultilingualpunctuation

Restore Punctuation

from deepmultilingualpunctuation import PunctuationModel

model = PunctuationModel("techiaith/fullstop-welsh-punctuation-prediction")
text = "A yw'r gweinidog yn cytuno bod angen gwell gwasanaethau yn ne ddwyrain Cymru"
result = model.restore_punctuation(text)
print(result)

output
