FLAN-T5 small-GeoNames

This model is a fine-tuned version of flan-t5-small on the GeoNames dataset.

Model description

The model is trained to classify terms into one of 660 category classes related to geographical locations.

The model also works well as part of a Retrieval-and-Generation (RAG) pipeline by leveraging an external knowledge source, specifically GeoNames Semantic Primes.

Intended uses and limitations

This model is intended to be used to generate a type (class) for an input term.
