## Model description
The **roberta-base-ca-cased-tc** is a Text Classification (TC) model for the Catalan language fine-tuned from the roberta-base-ca model, a [RoBERTa](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11692) base model pre-trained on a medium-size corpus collected from publicly available corpora and crawlers.

## Intended uses and limitations

**roberta-base-ca-cased-tc** model can be used to classify texts. The model is limited by its training dataset and may not generalize well for all use cases.

## How to use

Here is how to use this model:

```python
from transformers import pipeline
from pprint import pprint

nlp = pipeline("text-classification", model="projecte-aina/roberta-base-ca-cased-tc")
example = "Retards a quatre línies de Rodalies per una avaria entre Sants i plaça de Catalunya."

tc_results = nlp(example)
pprint(tc_results)
```

## Limitations and bias
At the time of submission, no measures have been taken to estimate the bias embedded in the model. However, we are well aware that our models may be biased since the corpora have been collected using crawling techniques on multiple web sources. We intend to conduct research in these areas in the future, and if completed, this model card will be updated.


## Training

### Training data
We used the TC dataset in Catalan called [TeCla](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/tecla) for training and evaluation.

### Training procedure
The model was trained with a batch size of 16 and a learning rate of 5e-5 for 5 epochs. We then selected the best checkpoint using the downstream task metric in the corresponding development set and then evaluated it on the test set.

## Evaluation

### Variable and metrics

This model was finetuned maximizing accuracy.

## Evaluation results
We evaluated the _roberta-base-ca-cased-tc_ on the TeCla test set against standard multilingual and monolingual baselines:

| Model        | TeCla (accuracy) | 
| ------------|:-------------|
| roberta-base-ca-cased-tc | **74.04** |
| mBERT       |  70.56 | 
| XLM-RoBERTa | 71.68 | 
| WikiBERT-ca |  73.22 |
