MASS is Microsoft's PyTorch implementation of Masked Sequence to Sequence Pre-training for language generation tasks. It provides pre-trained models and training code for sequence-to-sequence tasks like machine translation, summarization, and conversational response generation.

Use cases

• pre-train a sequence-to-sequence model for text generation
• fine-tune a pre-trained model for machine translation
• run unsupervised machine translation experiments
• generate abstractive text summaries
• reproduce the MASS paper results on WMT benchmarks

When to choose

• you need a seq2seq pre-training baseline for NLP research
• you want to reproduce or extend the MASS paper
• you need pre-trained encoder-decoder models for translation or summarization

When to avoid

• you need a modern, actively maintained LLM training framework
• you want production-ready translation services
• you need the latest transformer architectures beyond the MASS method
