# Model Details
xlm-mlm-17-1280 is the XLM model, which was proposed in [Cross-lingual Language Model Pretraining](https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.07291) by Guillaume Lample and Alexis Conneau, trained on text in 17 languages. The model is a transformer pretrained using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective.
## Model Description
- **Developed by:** See [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.07291) and [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/facebookresearch/XLM)
- **Model type:** Language model
- **Language(s) (NLP):** 17 languages, see [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/facebookresearch/XLM#the-17-and-100-languages) for full list.

# Uses
## Direct Use
The model is a language model. The model can be used for masked language modeling.
## Downstream Use
To learn more about this task and potential downstream uses, see the Hugging Face [fill mask docs](https://huggingface.co/tasks/fill-mask) and the [Hugging Face Multilingual Models for Inference](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.20.1/en/multilingual#xlm-with-language-embeddings) docs. Also see the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.07291).
## Out-of-Scope Use
The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.
# Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)).
## Recommendations
Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model.
# Training
This model is the XLM model trained on text in 17 languages. The preprocessing included tokenization and byte-pair-encoding. See the [GitHub repo](https://github.com/facebookresearch/XLM#the-17-and-100-languages) and the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.02116.pdf) for further details on the training data and training procedure.
[Conneau et al. (2020)](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.02116.pdf) report that this model has 16 layers, 1280 hidden states, 16 attention heads, and the dimension of the feed-forward layer is 1520. The vocabulary size is 200k and the total number of parameters is 570M (see Table 7).
# Evaluation
## Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
The model developers evaluated the model on the XNLI cross-lingual classification task (see the [XNLI data card](https://huggingface.co/datasets/xnli) for more details on XNLI) using the metric of test accuracy. See the [GitHub Repo](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.02116.pdf) for further details on the testing data, factors and metrics.
## Results
For xlm-mlm-17-1280, the test accuracy on the XNLI cross-lingual classification task in English (en), Spanish (es), German (de), Arabic (ar), and Chinese (zh):
|Language| en | es | de | ar | zh |
|:------:|:--:|:---:|:--:|:--:|:--:|
