# xlm-roberta-large-portuguese-execspeech-cap-v3
## Model description
An `xlm-roberta-large` model fine-tuned on portuguese training data containing executive speeches labeled with [major topic codes](https://www.comparativeagendas.net/pages/master-codebook) from the [Comparative Agendas Project](https://www.comparativeagendas.net/).

## How to use the model
This snippet prints the three most probable labels and their corresponding softmax scores:
```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("poltextlab/xlm-roberta-large-portuguese-execspeech-cap-v3")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xlm-roberta-large")

sentence = "This is an example."

inputs = tokenizer(sentence,
                   return_tensors="pt",
                   max_length=512,
                   padding="do_not_pad",
                   truncation=True
                   )

logits = model(**inputs).logits

probs = torch.softmax(logits, dim=1).tolist()[0]
probs = {model.config.id2label[index]: round(probability, 2) for index, probability in enumerate(probs)}
top3_probs = dict(sorted(probs.items(), key=lambda item: item[1], reverse=True)[:3])

print(top3_probs)
```

## Model performance
The model was evaluated on a test set of 364 examples.<br>
Model accuracy is **0.74**.

### Fine-tuning procedure
This model was fine-tuned with the following key hyperparameters:

- **Number of Training Epochs**: 10
- **Batch Size**: 8
- **Learning Rate**: 5e-06
- **Early Stopping**: enabled with a patience of 2 epochs

## Inference platform
This model is used by the [CAP Babel Machine](https://babel.poltextlab.com), an open-source and free natural language processing tool, designed to simplify and speed up projects for comparative research.  

## Cooperation
Model performance can be significantly improved by extending our training sets. We appreciate every submission of CAP-coded corpora (of any domain and language) at poltextlab{at}poltextlab{dot}com or by using the [CAP Babel Machine](https://babel.poltextlab.com).

## Debugging and issues
This architecture uses the `sentencepiece` tokenizer. In order to use the model before `transformers==4.27` you need to install it manually.

If you encounter a `RuntimeError` when loading the model using the `from_pretrained()` method, adding `ignore_mismatched_sizes=True` should solve the issue.
