| # xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-naija | |
| ## Model description | |
| **xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-naija** is a **Nigerian Pidgin RoBERTa** model obtained by fine-tuning **xlm-roberta-base** model on Nigerian Pidgin 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 Nigerian Pidgin 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-naija') | |
| >>> unmasker("Another attack on ambulance happen for Koforidua in March <mask> year where robbers kill Ambulance driver") | |
| ``` | |
| #### 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 + [BBC Pidgin](https://www.bbc.com/pidgin) | |
| ## Training procedure | |
| This model was trained on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU | |
| ## Eval results on Test set (F-score, average over 5 runs) | |
