## How to use this Model?
* This model can be accessed via git clone:
  ```
  git clone https://huggingface.co/SLPG/Biomedical_French_to_English
  ```
* You can use Fairseq library to access the model for translations:
  ```
  from fairseq.models.transformer import TransformerModel
  ```
* Load the model
  ```
  model = TransformerModel.from_pretrained('path/to/model')
  ```
* Set the model to evaluation mode
  ```
  model.eval()
  ```
* Perform inference
  ```
  input_text = 'Hello, how are you?'
  output_text = model.translate(input_text)
  print(output_text)
  ```
