It provides **better performance** than the multilingual BERT on text classification and named entity recognition datasets. Specifically, this model is a *bert-base-multilingual-cased* model that was fine-tuned on Yorùbá 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-yoruba') >>> unmasker("Arẹmọ Phillip to jẹ ọkọ [MASK] Elizabeth to ti wa lori aisan ti dagbere faye lẹni ọdun mọkandilọgọrun") [{'sequence': '[CLS] Arẹmọ Phillip to jẹ ọkọ Mary Elizabeth to ti wa lori aisan ti dagbere faye lẹni ọdun mọkandilọgọrun [SEP]', 'score': 0.1738305538892746, 'token': 12176, 'token_str': 'Mary'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] Arẹmọ Phillip to jẹ ọkọ Queen Elizabeth to ti wa lori aisan ti dagbere faye lẹni ọdun mọkandilọgọrun [SEP]', 'score': 0.16382873058319092, 'token': 13704, 'token_str': 'Queen'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] Arẹmọ Phillip to jẹ ọkọ ti Elizabeth to ti wa lori aisan ti dagbere faye lẹni ọdun mọkandilọgọrun [SEP]', 'score': 0.13272495567798615, 'token': 14382, 'token_str': 'ti'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] Arẹmọ Phillip to jẹ ọkọ King Elizabeth to ti wa lori aisan ti dagbere faye lẹni ọdun mọkandilọgọrun [SEP]', 'score': 0.12823280692100525, 'token': 11515, 'token_str': 'King'}, {'sequence': '[CLS] Arẹmọ Phillip to jẹ ọkọ Lady Elizabeth to ti wa lori aisan ti dagbere faye lẹni ọdun mọkandilọgọrun [SEP]', 'score': 0.07841219753026962, 'token': 14005, 'token_str': 'Lady'}] ``` #### 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 Bible, JW300, [Menyo-20k](https://huggingface.co/datasets/menyo20k_mt), [Yoruba Embedding corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/yoruba_text_c3) and [CC-Aligned](https://opus.nlpl.eu/), 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 ## Eval results on Test set (F-score) Dataset|F1-score -|- Yoruba GV NER |75.34 MasakhaNER |80.82 BBC Yoruba |80.66 ### BibTeX entry and citation info By David Adelani ``` ```
