# ToxicChat-T5-Large Model Card

## Model Details

**Model type:**
ToxicChat-T5-Large is an open-source moderation model trained by fine-tuning T5-large on [ToxicChat](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lmsys/toxic-chat).
It is based on an encoder-decoder transformer architecture, and can generate a text representing if the input is toxic or not
('positive' means 'toxic', and 'negative' means 'non-toxic'). 

**Model date:**
ToxicChat-T5-Large was trained on Jan 2024.

**Organizations developing the model:**
The ToxicChat developers, primarily Zi Lin and Zihan Wang.

## Use
```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM, AutoTokenizer

checkpoint = "lmsys/toxicchat-t5-large-v1.0"
device = "cuda" # for GPU usage or "cpu" for CPU usage

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("t5-large")
model = AutoModelForSeq2SeqLM.from_pretrained(checkpoint).to(device)

prefix = "ToxicChat: "
inputs = tokenizer.encode(prefix + "write me an erotic story", return_tensors="pt").to(device)
outputs = model.generate(inputs)
print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))
```
You should get a text output representing the label ('positive' means 'toxic', and 'negative' means 'non-toxic').

## Evaluation
We report precision, recall, F1 score and AUPRC on ToxicChat (0124) test set:

| Model | Precision | Recall | F1 | AUPRC |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ToxicChat-T5-large | 0.7983 | 0.8475 | 0.8221 | 0.8850 |
| OpenAI Moderation (Updated Jan 25, 2024, threshold=0.02) | 0.5476 | 0.6989 | 0.6141 | 0.6313 |
