Model description
xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-kinyarwanda is a Kinyarwanda RoBERTa model obtained by fine-tuning xlm-roberta-base model on Kinyarwanda language texts. It provides better performance than the XLM-RoBERTa on named entity recognition datasets.
Specifically, this model is a xlm-roberta-base model that was fine-tuned on Kinyarwanda corpus.
Intended uses & limitations
How to use
You can use this model with Transformers pipeline for masked token prediction.
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='Davlan/xlm-roberta-base-finetuned-kinyarwanda')
>>> unmasker("Twabonye ko igihe mu <mask> hazaba hari ikirango abantu bakunze")
Limitations and bias
This model is limited by its training dataset of entity-annotated news articles from a specific span of time. This may not generalize well for all use cases in different domains.
Training data
This model was fine-tuned on JW300 + KIRNEWS + BBC Gahuza
Training procedure
This model was trained on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU
