xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-hausa

Model description

xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-hausa is a Hausa RoBERTa model obtained by fine-tuning xlm-roberta-base model on Hausa 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 Hausa corpus.

Intended uses & limitations

How to use

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-hausa')
>>> unmasker("Shugaban <mask> Muhammadu Buhari ya amince da shawarar da ma’aikatar sufuri karkashin jagoranci")
                    
[{'sequence': '<s> Shugaban kasa Muhammadu Buhari ya amince da shawarar da ma’aikatar sufuri karkashin jagoranci</s>', 
'score': 0.8104371428489685, 
'token': 29762, 
'token_str': '▁kasa'}, 
{'sequence': '<s> Shugaban Najeriya Muhammadu Buhari ya amince da shawarar da ma’aikatar sufuri karkashin jagoranci</s>', 'score': 0.17371904850006104,

'token': 72620, 
'token_str': '▁Nigeria'}, 
{'sequence': '<s> Shugaban Kasar Muhammadu Buhari ya amince da shawarar da ma’aikatar sufuri karkashin jagoranci</s>', 'score': 0.0010596115607768297, 
'token': 170255, 
'token_str': '▁Kasar'}]

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 Hausa CC-100

Training procedure

This model was trained on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU
