## About

### What it is

t5-base-grammar-correction is a T5 model from vennify that takes a piece of English text and returns a revised copy with fewer grammatical errors. It was trained with the Happy Transformer library on a dataset called JFLEG. You call it from Python and get the corrected text back.

### Who it suits

It suits writers, students and developers who want automatic grammar fixes and can run a short Python script.

| Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Education | Students and teachers | Clean up grammar in essays and exercises | Run a sentence with doubled words through the model |
| Publishing | Editors and bloggers | Fix small slips in drafts before a human review | Pass a draft in one sentence at a time |
| Software | Developers | Add a grammar fixing step to a text tool | Call the model from a script and show the revised text |

People who write in languages other than English can skip it, since the record lists English only.

### Where to use it

The model runs from Python on a computer you control.

- Windows, macOS and Linux, with Python
- Python scripts that use the Happy Transformer library
- Python projects built on the transformers library, which the record lists

| Use case | Who | What they get back |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Proofreading a sentence | Writers | A revised sentence with the errors fixed |
| Batch clean-up of text | Developers | Revised text for each input a script passes in |

### How to set it up

You need Python with pip, and a computer that can download the model files.

1. Install the Hugging Face hub library with pip.
2. Download the model files with the hf command.
3. Install the Happy Transformer library with pip.

```sh
pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download vennify/t5-base-grammar-correction
pip install happytransformer
```

### How to use it

In Python, load the T5 model through Happy Transformer, set the generation settings and put the prefix grammar: and a space before each input. Then call generate\_text and print the text of the result.

```python
from happytransformer import HappyTextToText, TTSettings
happy_tt = HappyTextToText("T5", "vennify/t5-base-grammar-correction")
args = TTSettings(num_beams=5, min_length=1)
result = happy_tt.generate_text("grammar: This sentences has has bads grammar.", args=args)
print(result.text)
```

| Tool | What it does |
| --- | --- |
| HappyTextToText | Loads the T5 model for text to text jobs |
| TTSettings | Holds the generation settings, here 5 beams and a minimum length of 1 |
| generate\_text | Returns the revised text for the input you give it |

### Example

Give the model a sentence with doubled words and a wrong plural, such as the one in the card's snippet. The card's own comment shows the result as a clean sentence reading "This sentence has bad grammar."

### For newcomers and experts

If you are new to this, install the library, paste the snippet and swap the sentence inside the quotes for your own. Keep the grammar: prefix at the start of the text.

If you know the field, this is T5 base fine-tuned for sentence revision on JFLEG, run as a text to text job with beam search. It returns a rewritten sentence and not a list of marked errors.

Add the grammar: prefix to your text → Load T5 with Happy Transformer → The model generates with 5 beams → The revised text comes back in result.text

### Good to know

The model returns a revised version of your text, so read the output before you use it.
