# Jargon-legal-4096

[Jargon](https://hal.science/hal-04535557/file/FB2_domaines_specialises_LREC_COLING24.pdf) is an efficient transformer encoder LM for French, combining the LinFormer attention mechanism with the RoBERTa model architecture.

Jargon is available in several versions with different context sizes and types of pre-training corpora.

## Evaluation

The Jargon models were evaluated on an range of specialized downstream tasks.

For more info please check out the [paper](https://hal.science/hal-04535557/file/FB2_domaines_specialises_LREC_COLING24.pdf), accepted for publication at [LREC-COLING 2024](https://lrec-coling-2024.org/list-of-accepted-papers/).


## Using Jargon models with HuggingFace transformers

You can get started with `jargon-legal-4096` using the code snippet below:

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("PantagrueLLM/jargon-legal-4096", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("PantagrueLLM/jargon-legal-4096", trust_remote_code=True)

jargon_maskfiller = pipeline("fill-mask", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
output = jargon_maskfiller("Il est allé au <mask> hier")
```

You can also use the classes `AutoModel`, `AutoModelForSequenceClassification`, or `AutoModelForTokenClassification` to load Jargon models, depending on the downstream task in question.
