tweet-topic-large-multilingual

This model is based on cardiffnlp/twitter-xlm-roberta-large-2022 language model and isfinetuned for multi-label topic classification in English, Spanish, Japanese, and Greek.

The models is trained using TweetTopic and X-Topic datasets (see main EMNLP 2024 reference paper.

However, the complexities of understanding and categorising this content across various languages remain an important challenge with traditional techniques like topic modelling often struggling to accommodate this multilingual diversity. In this paper, we introduce X-Topic, a multilingual dataset featuring content in four distinct languages (English, Spanish, Japanese, and Greek), crafted for the purpose of tweet topic classification. Our dataset includes a wide range of topics, tailored for social media content, making it a valuable resource for scientists and professionals working on cross-linguistic analysis, the development of robust multilingual models, and computational scientists studying online dialogue. Finally, we leverage X-Topic to perform a comprehensive cross-linguistic and multilingual analysis, and compare the capabilities of current general- and domain-specific language models.", }
