## Model description

The **roberta-base-ca-v2-cased-wikicat-ca** is a Text Classification model for the Catalan language fine-tuned from the [roberta-base-ca-v2](https://huggingface.co/projecte-aina/roberta-base-ca-v2) 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 (check the roberta-base-ca-v2 model card for more details).

## Intended uses and limitations

**roberta-base-ca-v2-cased-wikicat-ca** 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="roberta-base-ca-v2-cased-wikicat-ca")
example = "La ressonància magnètica és una prova diagnòstica clau per a moltes malalties."

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 [WikiCAT_ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/WikiCAT_ca) for training and evaluation.

### Training procedure
The model was trained with a batch size of 16 and three learning rates (1e-5, 3e-5, 5e-5) for 10 epochs. We then selected the best learning rate (3e-5) and checkpoint (epoch 3, step 1857) using the downstream task metric in the corresponding development set.

## Evaluation

### Variable and metrics

This model was finetuned maximizing F1 (weighted) score.

### Evaluation results
We evaluated the _roberta-base-ca-v2-cased-wikicat-ca_ on the WikiCAT_ca dev set:

| Model        | WikiCAT_ca (F1)| 
| ------------|:-------------|
| roberta-base-ca-v2-cased-wikicat-ca | 77.823 |
