Model Details

  • Model Name: DistilBERT for Educational Query Classification
  • Model Architecture: DistilBERT (base model: distilbert-base-uncased)
  • Language: English
  • Model Type: Transformer-based text classification model
  • License: Apache License 2.0

Overview

This model is a fine-tuned version of DistilBERT specifically designed for classifying queries as either educational or non-educational. It was trained on a dataset containing a variety of questions and statements, with each entry labeled as either "educational" or "non-educational."

Intended Use

  • Primary Use Case: This model is intended to classify text inputs into two categories: "educational" or "non-educational." It is useful for applications that need to filter out or prioritize educational content.
  • Potential Applications:
    • Educational chatbots or virtual assistants
    • Content moderation for educational platforms
    • Automated tagging of educational content
    • Filtering non-educational queries from educational websites or apps

Training Data

  • Dataset: The model was fine-tuned on a custom educational dataset. This dataset includes various types of queries that are labeled based on their content as either "educational" or "non-educational."
  • Dataset Source: The dataset was manually curated to include a balanced mix of educational questions (covering various academic subjects) and non-educational questions (general queries that do not pertain to educational content).

Training Procedure

  • Framework: The model was trained using the Hugging Face Transformers library with PyTorch.
  • Fine-Tuning Parameters:
    • Batch Size: 16
    • Learning Rate: 5e-5
    • Epochs: 3
    • Optimizer: AdamW with weight decay
  • Hardware: Fine-tuning was performed on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU.

Limitations and Bias

While this model has been fine-tuned for classifying queries as educational or non-educational, there are some limitations and potential biases:

  • Bias in Data: The model may reflect any biases present in the training data, particularly if certain topics or types of educational content are overrepresented or underrepresented.
  • Binary Classification: The model categorizes inputs strictly as "educational" or "non-educational." It may not handle nuanced or ambiguous queries effectively.
  • Not Suitable for Other Classifications: This model is specifically designed for educational vs. non-educational classification. It may not perform well on other types of classification tasks without further fine-tuning.

How to Use

You can load the model using the Hugging Face Transformers library:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("haider0941/distilbert-base-educationl")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("haider0941/distilbert-base-educationl")

input_text = "What is the capital of France?"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
