xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-swahili

Model description

xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-swahili is a Swahili RoBERTa model obtained by fine-tuning xlm-roberta-base model on Swahili language texts. It provides better performance than the XLM-RoBERTa on text classification and named entity recognition datasets.

Specifically, this model is a xlm-roberta-base model that was fine-tuned on Swahili corpus.

Intended uses & limitations

How to use

You can use this model with Transformers pipeline for masked token prediction.

>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='Davlan/xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-swahili')
>>> unmasker("Jumatatu, Bwana Kagame alielezea shirika la France24 huko <mask> kwamba hakuna uhalifu ulitendwa")
                    
[{'sequence': 'Jumatatu, Bwana Kagame alielezea shirika la France24 huko Ufaransa kwamba hakuna uhalifu ulitendwa', 
'score': 0.5077782273292542, 
'token': 190096, 
'token_str': 'Ufaransa'},

Limitations and bias

This model is limited by its training dataset of entity-annotated news articles from a specific span of time. This may not generalize well for all use cases in different domains.

Training data

This model was fine-tuned on Swahili CC-100

Training procedure

This model was trained on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
