RussScholar-Seeker Model Card
RussScholar-Seeker is a robust NLP tool designed to identify Russian scholars within academic publications effectively.
Model Details
Developed by: Gao Tianci
Model type: BertForSequenceClassification
Languages: Primarily English (for processing)
Overview
RussScholar-Seeker uses advanced machine learning techniques to analyze names within academic papers to predict their likelihood of being Russian, assisting in the broader study of geographical diversity in academic contributions.
Intended Use
- Primary Use: Identifying Russian names in scholarly articles.
- User Guide: Simple API for integrating with academic databases or research platforms.
Model Architecture
Built on the BERT architecture, which has been fine-tuned for the specific task of sequence classification to predict the nationality from names.
How It Works
- Input: List of author names from academic papers.
- Processing: Names are tokenized and passed through the BERT model.
- Output: Each name is classified as Russian or not, based on the model's confidence.
Model Performance
High accuracy and precision demonstrated on a diverse dataset of names, ensuring reliability across various academic disciplines.
Key Metrics
- Accuracy: 92%
- Precision: 90%
- Recall: 91%
These metrics were obtained using a standardized validation set that reflects a wide range of name origins.
Ethical Considerations
This model is intended purely for academic and research purposes. It is crucial to use this model responsibly and consider the broader social implications, such as privacy concerns and the potential for reinforcing stereotypes.
Limitations
The model's performance may degrade with names that do not conform to the training dataset's characteristics, particularly for non-Cyrillic names.
