Model Details
The XLM model was proposed in Cross-lingual Language Model Pretraining by Guillaume Lample, Alexis Conneau. xlm-mlm-enro-1024 is a transformer pretrained using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective for English-Romanian. This model uses language embeddings to specify the language used at inference. See the Hugging Face Multilingual Models for Inference docs for further details.

Uses
Direct Use
The model is a language model. The model can be used for masked language modeling.
Downstream Use
To learn more about this task and potential downstream uses, see the Hugging Face fill mask docs and the Hugging Face Multilingual Models for Inference docs.
Out-of-Scope Use
The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.
Bias, Risks, and Limitations
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.
Training
The model developers write:
In all experiments, we use a Transformer architecture with 1024 hidden units, 8 heads, GELU activations (Hendrycks and Gimpel, 2016), a dropout rate of 0.1 and learned positional embeddings. We train our models with the Adam op- timizer (Kingma and Ba, 2014), a linear warm- up (Vaswani et al., 2017) and learning rates varying from 10^−4 to 5.10^−4.
See the associated paper for links, citations, and further details on the training data and training procedure.
The model developers also write that:
If you use these models, you should use the same data preprocessing / BPE codes to preprocess your data.
See the associated GitHub Repo for further details.
Evaluation
Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
The model developers evaluated the model on the WMT'16 English-Romanian dataset using the BLEU metric. See the associated paper for further details on the testing data, factors and metrics.
Results
For xlm-mlm-enro-1024 results, see Tables 1-3 of the associated paper.
Environmental Impact
Carbon emissions can be estimated using the Machine Learning Impact calculator presented in Lacoste et al. (2019).

Technical Specifications
The model developers write:
We implement all our models in PyTorch (Paszke et al., 2017), and train them on 64 Volta GPUs for the language modeling tasks, and 8 GPUs for the MT tasks. We use float16 operations to speed up training and to reduce the memory usage of our models.
See the associated paper for further details.
