# bert-base-multilingual-cased-finetuned-kinyarwanda
## Model description
**bert-base-multilingual-cased-finetuned-kinyarwanda** is a **Kinyarwanda BERT** model obtained by fine-tuning **bert-base-multilingual-cased** model on Kinyarwanda language texts. It provides **better performance** than the multilingual BERT on named entity recognition datasets.
Specifically, this model is a *bert-base-multilingual-cased* model that was fine-tuned on Kinyarwanda corpus.
## Intended uses & limitations
#### How to use
You can use this model with Transformers *pipeline* for masked token prediction.
```python
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='Davlan/bert-base-multilingual-cased-finetuned-kinyarwanda')
>>> unmasker("Twabonye ko igihe mu [MASK] hazaba hari ikirango abantu bakunze")
```
#### Limitations and bias
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 JW300 + [KIRNEWS](https://github.com/Andrews2017/KINNEWS-and-KIRNEWS-Corpus) + [BBC Gahuza](https://www.bbc.com/gahuza)
## Training procedure
This model was trained on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU
## Eval results on Test set (F-score, average over 5 runs)
