Model description

The roberta-base-es-wikicat-es is a Text Classification model for the Catalan language fine-tuned from the roberta-base-bne model, a RoBERTa base model pre-trained on a medium-size corpus collected from publicly available corpora and crawlers (check the roberta-base-bne model card for more details).

Intended uses and limitations

roberta-base-es-wikicat-es model can be used to classify texts. The model is limited by its training dataset and may not generalize well for all use cases.

How to use

Here is how to use this model:

from transformers import pipeline
from pprint import pprint
nlp = pipeline("text-classification", model="roberta-base-es-wikicat-es")
example = "Sedna es el cuerpo menor del sistema solar número 90377; concretamente es un objeto transneptuniano."
tc_results = nlp(example)
pprint(tc_results)

Limitations and bias

At the time of submission, no measures have been taken to estimate the bias embedded in the model. However, we are well aware that our models may be biased since the corpora have been collected using crawling techniques on multiple web sources. We intend to conduct research in these areas in the future, and if completed, this model card will be updated.

Training

Training data

We used the TC dataset in Spanish called WikiCAT_esv2 for training and evaluation.

Training procedure

The model was trained with a batch size of 16 and three learning rates (1e-5, 3e-5, 5e-5) for 5 epochs. We then selected the best learning rate (2e-5) and checkpoint (epoch 3) using the downstream task metric in the corresponding development set.

Evaluation

Variable and metrics

This model was finetuned maximizing F1 (macro) score.

Evaluation results

We evaluated the roberta-base-es-wikicat-es on the WikiCAT_esv2 dev set:
