VietQuill: An Open-Source Toolkit for Vietnamese Paraphrasing
Project description
An Open-Source Toolkit for Vietnamese Paraphrasing
English | Tiếng Việt
VietQuill is a unified framework for controllable Vietnamese paraphrase generation and quality estimation, supporting both research and production applications.
It centralizes datasets, generation methods, augmentation techniques, and evaluation metrics into a consistent interface, enabling researchers and practitioners to develop, benchmark, and deploy paraphrase systems with minimal effort. VietQuill aims to serve as a common foundation for the Vietnamese paraphrase generation ecosystem, promoting reproducible research, standardized evaluation, and the development of high-quality paraphrase technologies for education, information retrieval, question answering, conversational AI, and other natural language processing applications.
We are committed to advancing Vietnamese paraphrase generation by making state-of-the-art methods accessible, customizable, and easy to integrate into real-world workflows.
Installation
Create and activate a virtual environment with venv and project manager.
python -m venv .\venv
Install VietQuill in your virtual environment.
pip install vietquill
Quickstart
Paraphrase Generate
Using AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration for fine-grained control over lexical, semantic, and syntactic attributes.
from vietquill import AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration
model = AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration()
result = model.paraphrase("Hôm nay trời đẹp quá, mình muốn đi dạo công viên.")
print(result)
# >>> ['Hôm nay trời đẹp, tôi muốn đi dạo công viên.']
Generate multiple paraphrase candidates using the num_candidates parameter.
from vietquill import AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration
model = AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration()
result = model.paraphrase("Thủ đô của nước Pháp là thành phố nào?", num_candidates=3)
print(result)
# >>> ['Nước Pháp có thủ đô là thành phố nào?', 'Nước Pháp có thủ đô là thành phố tên gì?', 'Nước Pháp có thủ đô là thành phố tên là gì?']
If you have multiple sentences and want to leverage the power of GPU acceleration, you should use paraphrases for batch generation:
from vietquill import AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration
model = AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration()
sentences = [
"Hôm nay trời đẹp quá, mình muốn đi dạo công viên.",
"Thủ đô của nước Pháp là thành phố nào?",
# ... many sentences here ...
]
# Generate paraphrases in batch
results = model.paraphrases(sentences)
print(results)
# >>> [['Hôm nay trời đẹp, tôi muốn đi dạo công viên.'], ['Nước Pháp có thủ đô là thành phố nào?']]
Using lexical, syntactic, semantic for tunning paraphrase quality and diversity.
from vietquill import AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration
model = AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration()
sentence = "Tôi rất thích ăn phở vào buổi sáng và uống một cốc cà phê nóng."
# Generate with specific control levels
paraphrase = model.paraphrase(sentence, lexical=90, syntactic=70, semantic=70, num_candidates=2)
print(paraphrase)
# >>> ['Bữa sáng tôi ăn phở, uống một cốc cà phê nóng.', 'Bữa sáng tôi ăn phở và một cốc cà phê nóng.']
Alternatively, you can use predefined style presets using the ParaphraseStyle enum (or pass the style name as a string):
from vietquill import AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration, ParaphraseStyle
model = AutoModelForControllableParaphraseGeneration()
sentence = "Mỗi ngày, có bao nhiêu người Việt Nam sử dụng mạng xã hội?"
# Generate with CONSERVATIVE
paraphrase = model.paraphrase(sentence, style=ParaphraseStyle.CONSERVATIVE)
print(paraphrase)
# >>> ['Mỗi ngày có bao nhiêu người Việt Nam sử dụng mạng xã hội?']
# Generate with BALANCED
paraphrase = model.paraphrase(sentence, style=ParaphraseStyle.BALANCED)
print(paraphrase)
# >>> ['Số lượng người Việt Nam sử dụng mạng xã hội mỗi ngày là bao nhiêu?']
# Generate with DIVERSE
paraphrase = model.paraphrase(sentence, style=ParaphraseStyle.DIVERSE)
print(paraphrase)
# >>> ['Có bao nhiêu người Việt Nam sử dụng mạng xã hội mỗi ngày?']
Paraphrase Evaluate
Evaluate the quality of generated paraphrases using various metrics and estimators.
from vietquill.evaluation import BLEUMetric, LexicalEstimator
original = "Hôm nay trời đẹp quá."
paraphrase = "Hôm nay trời đẹp ghê."
metric = BLEUMetric()
result = metric.score(original, paraphrase)
print(result)
# >>> 0.668740304976422
from vietquill.evaluation import LexicalEstimator
original = "Hôm nay trời đẹp quá."
paraphrase = "Hôm nay trời đẹp ghê."
lex_est = LexicalEstimator()
result = lex_est.estimate(original, paraphrase)
print(result)
# >>> {'lexical_score': 66.67}
from vietquill import AutoModelForParaphraseQualityEstimation
original = "Hôm nay trời đẹp quá, mình muốn đi dạo công viên."
paraphrase = "Thời tiết hôm nay thật tuyệt, tôi muốn tản bộ trong công viên."
estimator = AutoModelForParaphraseQualityEstimation()
result = estimator.estimate(original, paraphrase)
print(result)
# >>> {'lexical_score': 24.48, 'syntactic_score': 78.26, 'semantic_score': 64.2}
