# XLM-RoBERTA-large-twitter

This is a XLM-RoBERTa-large model tuned on a corpus of over 156 million tweets in ten languages: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, French, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Dutch and Korean.
The model has been trained from the original XLM-RoBERTA-large checkpoint for 2 epochs with a batch size of 1024.

For best results, preprocess the tweets using the following method before passing them to the model:
```python
def preprocess(text):
    new_text = []
    for t in text.split(" "):
        t = '@user' if t.startswith('@') and len(t) > 1 else t
        t = 'http' if t.startswith('http') else t
        new_text.append(t)
    return " ".join(new_text)
```
