## Model description |
|
|
|
The **roberta-large-ca-v2** is a transformer-based masked language model for the Catalan language. |
|
It is based on the [RoBERTA](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/roberta) large model |
|
and has been trained on a medium-size corpus collected from publicly available corpora and crawlers. |
|
|
|
## Intended uses and limitations |
|
|
|
**roberta-large-ca-v2** model is ready-to-use only for masked language modeling to perform the Fill Mask task (try the inference API or read the next section). |
|
However, it is intended to be fine-tuned on non-generative downstream tasks such as Question Answering, Text Classification, or Named Entity Recognition. |
|
|
|
## How to use |
|
|
|
Here is how to use this model: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM |
|
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, FillMaskPipeline |
|
from pprint import pprint |
|
tokenizer_hf = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('projecte-aina/roberta-large-ca-v2') |
|
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('projecte-aina/roberta-large-ca-v2') |
|
model.eval() |
|
pipeline = FillMaskPipeline(model, tokenizer_hf) |
|
text = f"Em dic <mask>." |
|
res_hf = pipeline(text) |
|
pprint([r['token_str'] for r in res_hf]) |
|
``` |
|
|
|
## 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 |
|
|
|
The training corpus consists of several corpora gathered from web crawling and public corpora. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Corpus | Size in GB | |
|
|-------------------------|------------| |
|
| Catalan Crawling | 13.00 | |
|
| Wikipedia | 1.10 | |
|
| DOGC | 0.78 | |
|
| Catalan Open Subtitles | 0.02 | |
|
| Catalan Oscar | 4.00 | |
|
| CaWaC | 3.60 | |
|
| Cat. General Crawling | 2.50 | |
|
| Cat. Goverment Crawling | 0.24 | |
|

|
| Nació Digital | 0.42 | |
|
| Vilaweb | 0.06 | |
|
| Tweets | 0.02 | |
|
|
|
### Training procedure |
|
|
|
The training corpus has been tokenized using a byte version of [Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE)](https://github.com/openai/gpt-2) |
|
used in the original [RoBERTA](https://github.com/pytorch/fairseq/tree/master/examples/roberta) model with a vocabulary size of 50,262 tokens. |
|
The RoBERTa-large pretraining consists of a masked language model training that follows the approach employed for the RoBERTa large model |
|
with the same hyperparameters as in the original work. |
|
The training lasted a total of 96 hours with 32 NVIDIA V100 GPUs of 16GB DDRAM. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Evaluation |
|
|
|
### CLUB benchmark |
|
|
|
The BERTa-large model has been fine-tuned on the downstream tasks of the Catalan Language Understanding Evaluation benchmark (CLUB), |
|
that has been created along with the model. |
|
|
|
It contains the following tasks and their related datasets: |
|
|
|
1. Named Entity Recognition (NER) |
|
|
|
|
|
**[NER (AnCora)](https://zenodo.org/record/4762031#.YKaFjqGxWUk)**: extracted named entities from the original [Ancora](https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.4762030) version, |
|
filtering out some unconventional ones, like book titles, and transcribed them into a standard CONLL-IOB format |
|
|
|
|
|
2. Part-of-Speech Tagging (POS) |
|
|
|
**[POS (AnCora)](https://zenodo.org/record/4762031#.YKaFjqGxWUk)**: from the [Universal Dependencies treebank](https://github.com/UniversalDependencies/UD_Catalan-AnCora) of the well-known Ancora corpus. |
|
|
|
3. Text Classification (TC) |
|
|
|
**[TeCla](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/tecla)**: consisting of 137k news pieces from the Catalan News Agency ([ACN](https://www.acn.cat/)) corpus, with 30 labels. |
|
|
|
4. Textual Entailment (TE) |
|
|
|
**[TE-ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/teca)**: consisting of 21,163 pairs of premises and hypotheses, annotated according to the inference relation they have (implication, contradiction, or neutral), extracted from the [Catalan Textual Corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/catalan_textual_corpus). |
|
|
|
5. Semantic Textual Similarity (STS) |
|
|
|
**[STS-ca](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/sts-ca)**: consisting of more than 3000 sentence pairs, annotated with the semantic similarity between them, scraped from the [Catalan Textual Corpus](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/catalan_textual_corpus). |
|
|
|
6. Question Answering (QA): |
|
|
|
**[VilaQuAD](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/vilaquad)**: contains 6,282 pairs of questions and answers, outsourced from 2095 Catalan language articles from VilaWeb newswire text. |
|
|
|
**[ViquiQuAD](https://huggingface.co/datasets/projecte-aina/viquiquad)**: consisting of more than 15,000 questions outsourced from Catalan Wikipedia randomly chosen from a set of 596 articles that were originally written in Catalan. |
