Model Details

Model Description

The XLM-RoBERTa model was proposed in Unsupervised Cross-lingual Representation Learning at Scale by Alexis Conneau, Kartikay Khandelwal, Naman Goyal, Vishrav Chaudhary, Guillaume Wenzek, Francisco Guzmán, Edouard Grave, Myle Ott, Luke Zettlemoyer and Veselin Stoyanov. It is based on Facebook's RoBERTa model released in 2019. It is a large multi-lingual language model, trained on 2.5TB of filtered CommonCrawl data. This model is XLM-RoBERTa-large fine-tuned with the conll2003 dataset in German.

• Developed by: See associated paper
• Model type: Multi-lingual language model
• Language(s) (NLP): XLM-RoBERTa is a multilingual model trained on 100 different languages; see GitHub Repo for full list; model is fine-tuned on a dataset in German
• License: More information needed
• Related Models: RoBERTa, XLM

Uses

Direct Use

The model is a language model. The model can be used for token classification, a natural language understanding task in which a label is assigned to some tokens in a text.

Downstream Use

Potential downstream use cases include Named Entity Recognition (NER) and Part-of-Speech (PoS) tagging. To learn more about token classification and other potential downstream use cases, see the Hugging Face token classification docs.

Out-of-Scope Use

The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

CONTENT WARNING: Readers should be made aware that language generated by this model may be disturbing or offensive to some and may propagate historical and current stereotypes.

Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., Sheng et al. (2021) and Bender et al. (2021)).

Recommendations

Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model.

Model Card Authors

This model card was written by the team at Hugging Face.

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model. You can use this model directly within a pipeline for NER.

>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xlm-roberta-large-finetuned-conll03-german")
>>> model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("xlm-roberta-large-finetuned-conll03-german")
>>> classifier = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
>>> classifier("Bayern München ist wieder alleiniger Top-Favorit auf den Gewinn der deutschen Fußball-Meisterschaft.")
