xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-yoruba

Model description

xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-yoruba is a Yoruba RoBERTa model obtained by fine-tuning xlm-roberta-base model on Yorùbá 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 Yorùbá corpus.

Intended uses & limitations

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-yoruba')
>>> unmasker("Arẹmọ Phillip to jẹ ọkọ <mask> Elizabeth to ti wa lori aisan ti dagbere faye lẹni ọdun mọkandilọgọrun")

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 Bible, JW300, Menyo-20k , Yoruba Embedding corpus and CC-Aligned , Wikipedia, news corpora (BBC Yoruba, VON Yoruba, Asejere, Alaroye), and other small datasets curated from friends.

Training procedure

This model was trained on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU
