# xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-luo
## Model description
**xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-luo** is a **Luo RoBERTa** model obtained by fine-tuning **xlm-roberta-base** model on Luo language texts.  It provides **better performance** than the XLM-RoBERTa on named entity recognition datasets.  

Specifically, this model is a *xlm-roberta-base* model that was fine-tuned on Luo 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/xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-luo')
>>> unmasker("Obila ma Changamwe <mask> pedho achije angwen mag njore")



```
#### 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

## Training procedure
This model was trained on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU

## Eval results on Test set (F-score, average over 5 runs)
