# bert-base-multilingual-cased-edda-domain-classification


<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This model is designed to classify encyclopedia articles into knowledge domains (e.g., History, Geography, Medicine, ...). 
It is a fine-tuned version of the bert-base-multilingual-cased model.
It has been trained on the French *Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers par une société de gens de lettres (1751-1772)* edited by Diderot and d'Alembert (provided by the [ARTFL Encyclopédie Project](https://artfl-project.uchicago.edu)).

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

This model was trained entirely on French encyclopaedic entries and will likely not perform well on text in other languages or other corpora.
