# xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-recipe-all

This model is a fine-tuned version of [xlm-roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base) on the recipe ingredient [NER dataset](https://github.com/cosylabiiit/recipe-knowledge-mining) from the paper [A Named Entity Based Approach to Model Recipes](https://arxiv.org/abs/2004.12184) (using both the `gk` and `ar` datasets).



It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.1169
- F1: 0.9672

On the test set it obtains an F1 of 0.9615, slightly above the CRF used in the paper.

## Model description

Predicts tag of each token in an ingredient string.

| Tag | Significance | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| NAME | Name of Ingredient | salt, pepper |
| STATE | Processing State of Ingredient. | ground, thawed |
| UNIT | Measuring unit(s). | gram, cup |
| QUANTITY | Quantity associated with the unit(s). | 1, 1 1/2 , 2-4 |
| SIZE | Portion sizes mentioned. | small, large |
| TEMP | Temperature applied prior to cooking. | hot, frozen |
| DF (DRY/FRESH) | Fresh otherwise as mentioned. | dry, fresh |

## Intended uses & limitations

* Only trained on ingredient strings.
* Tags subtokens; tag should be propagated to whole word
* Works best with pre-tokenisation splitting of symbols (such as parentheses) and numbers (e.g. 50g -> 50 g)
* Typically only detects the first ingredient if there are multiple.
* Only trained on two American English data sources
* Tags TEMP and DF have very few training data.

## Training and evaluation data

Both the `ar` (AllRecipes.com) and `gk` (FOOD.com) datasets obtained from the TSVs from the authors' [repository](https://github.com/cosylabiiit/recipe-knowledge-mining).

## Training procedure


It follows the overall procedure from Chapter 4 of [Natural Language Processing with Transformers](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/natural-language-processing/9781098103231/) by Tunstall, von Wera and Wolf.

See the [training notebook](https://github.com/EdwardJRoss/nlp_transformers_exercises/blob/master/notebooks/ch4-ner-recipe-stanford-crf.ipynb) for details.
