# Model Card for Model ID

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

This is a **[XLM-RoBERTa-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base) fine-tuned model** on 5K (premise, hypothesis) sentence pairs from
the **ASSIN (Avaliação de Similaridade Semântica e Inferência textual)** corpus. The original reference papers are:
[Unsupervised Cross-Lingual Representation Learning At Scale](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1911.02116), [ASSIN: Avaliação de Similaridade Semântica e Inferência Textual](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin), respectivelly. This model is suitable for Portuguese (from Brazil or Portugal).

## Model Details

### Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->

- **Oriented By:** Renata Wassermann, Felipe Ribas Serras and Marcelo Finger
- **Model type:** Transformer-based text classifier
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Portuguese
- **License:** mit
- **Finetuned from model** [XLM-RoBERTa-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base)

### Model Sources

<!-- Provide the basic links for the model. -->

- **Paper:** This is an ongoing research. We are currently writing a paper where we fully describe our experiments.

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

### Direct Use

This fine-tuned version of [XLM-RoBERTa-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base) performs Natural
Language Inference (NLI), which is a text classification task. Therefore, it classifies pairs of sentences in the form (premise, hypothesis) into one of the following classes ENTAILMENT, PARAPHRASE or NONE. Salvatore's definition [1] for ENTAILEMENT is assumed to be the same as the one found in [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin)'s labels in which this model was trained on.

PARAPHRASE and NONE are not defined in [1].Therefore, it is assumed that in this model's training set, given a pair of sentences (paraphase, hypothesis), hypothesis is a PARAPHRASE of premise if premise is an ENTAILMENT of hypothesis *and* vice-versa. If (premise, hypothesis) don't have an ENTAILMENT or PARAPHARSE relationship, (premise, hypothesis)  is classified as NONE.


<!-- <div id="assin_function">

**Definition 1.** Given a pair of sentences $(premise, hypothesis)$, let $\hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}$ be the fine-tuned models' inference function:

$$
\hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)} = 
\begin{cases} 
ENTAILMENT, & \text{if $premise$ entails $hypothesis$}\\
PARAPHRASE, & \text{if $premise$ entails $hypothesis$ and $hypothesis$ entails $premise$}\\
NONE & \text{otherwise}
\end{cases}
$$
</div> 

The (premise, hypothesis)$ entailment definition used is the same as the one found in Salvatore's paper [1].-->

## Demo

```python
from transformers import AutoModelForSequenceClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model_path = "giotvr/portuguese-nli-3-labels"
premise = "As mudanças climáticas são uma ameaça séria para a biodiversidade do planeta."
hypothesis ="A biodiversidade do planeta é seriamente ameaçada pelas mudanças climáticas."
tokenizer = XLMRobertaTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path, use_auth_token=True)
input_pair = tokenizer(premise, hypothesis, return_tensors="pt",padding=True, truncation=True)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_path, use_auth_token=True)

with torch.no_grad():
    logits = model(**input_pair).logits
probs = torch.nn.functional.softmax(logits, dim=-1)
probs, sorted_indices = torch.sort(probs, descending=True)
for i, score in enumerate(probs[0]):
    print(f"Class {sorted_indices[0][i]}: {score.item():.4f}")
```

### Fine-Tuning Data

- **Train Dataset**: [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin) <br>

- **Evaluation Dataset used for Hyperparameter Tuning:** [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin)'s validation split

    - [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin)'s test splits
    - [ASSIN2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin2)'s test splits


---
This is a fine tuned version of [XLM-RoBERTa-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base) using the [ASSIN (Avaliação de Similaridade Semântica e Inferência textual)](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin) dataset. [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin) is a corpus annotated with hypothesis/premise Portuguese sentence pairs suitable for detecting textual entailment, paraphrase or neutral 
relationship between the members of such pairs. Such corpus has three subsets: *ptbr* (Brazilian Portuguese), *ptpt* (Portuguese Portuguese) and *full* (the union of the latter with the former). The *full* subset has 
10k sentence pairs equally distributed between *ptbr*  and *ptpt* subsets.

### Fine-Tuning Procedure 

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->
The model's fine-tuning procedure can be summarized in three major subsequent tasks:
    <ol type="i">
        <li>**Data Processing:**</li> [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin)'s *validation* and *train* splits were loaded from the **Hugging Face Hub** and processed afterwards; 
        <li>**Hyperparameter Tuning:**</li> [XLM-RoBERTa-base](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-base)'s hyperparameters were chosen with the help of the [Weights & Biases](https://docs.wandb.ai/ref/python/public-api/api) API to track the results and upload the fine-tuned models;
        <li>**Final Model Loading and Testing:**</li>
        The models' performance was evaluated using different datasets and metrics that will be better described in the future paper. 
    </ol>


<!--  ##### Column Renaming
The **Hugging Face**'s ```transformers``` module's ```DataCollator``` used by its ```Trainer``` requires that the ```class label``` column of the collated dataset to be called ```label```.  [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin)'s class label column for each hypothesis/premise pair is called ```entailment_judgement```. Therefore, as the first step of the data preprocessing pipeline the column  ```entailment_judgement``` was renamed to ```label``` so that the **Hugging Face**'s ```transformers``` module's ```Trainer``` could be used. -->

#### Hyperparameter Tuning

<!-- The model's training hyperparameters were chosen according to the following definition:

<div id="hyperparameter_tuning">

**Definition 2.** Let $Hyperparms= \{i: i \text{ is an hyperparameter of } \hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}\}$ and $\hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}$ be the model's inference function defined in [Definition 1](#assin_function) :

$$
Hyperparms = \argmax_{hyp}(eval\_acc(\hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}_{hyp}, assin\_validation))
$$
</div> -->

The following hyperparameters were tested in order to maximize the evaluation accuracy.

- **Number of Training Epochs:** (1,2,3)
- **Per Device Train Batch Size:** (16,32)
- **Learning Rate:** (1e-6, 2e-6,3e-6)


The hyperaparemeter tuning experiments were run and tracked using the [Weights & Biases' API](https://docs.wandb.ai/ref/python/public-api/api) and can be found at this [link](https://wandb.ai/gio_projs/assin_xlm_roberta_v5?workspace=user-giogvn).


#### Training Hyperparameters

The [hyperparameter tuning](#hyperparameter-tuning) performed yelded the following values:

- **Number of Training Epochs:** 3
- **Per Device Train Batch Size:** 16
- **Learning Rate:** 3e-6

## Evaluation

### ASSIN

Testing this model in [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin)'s test split is straightforward because this model was tested using [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin)'s training set and therefore can predict the same labels as the ones found in its test set.

### ASSIN2
<!-- Given a pair of sentences $(premise, hypothesis)$, $\hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}(premise, hypothesis)$ can be equal to $PARAPHRASE, ENTAILMENT$ or $NONE$ as defined in [Definition 1](#assin_function). -->

[ASSIN2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin2)'s test split's class label's column has only two possible values: *ENTAILMENT* and *NONE*. Therefore some mapping must be done so this model can be tested in [ASSIN2](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin2)'s test split. More information on how such mapping is performed will be available in the [referred paper](#model-sources).

### Metrics

<!-- These are the evaluation metrics being used, ideally with a description of why. -->
The model's performance metrics for each test dataset are presented separately. Accuracy, f1 score, precision and recall were the metrics used to every evaluation performed. Such metrics are reported below. More information on such metrics them will be available in our ongoing research paper.

### Results

| test set | accuracy | f1 score | precision | recall |
|----------|----------|----------|-----------|--------|
| assin    |0.89      |0.89      |0.89       |0.89    |
| assin2   |0.70      |0.69      |0.73       |0.70    |
