# xlm-roberta-large-pooled-cap-minor
## Model description
An `xlm-roberta-large` model finetuned on multilingual (english, danish) training data labelled with [minor topic codes](https://www.comparativeagendas.net/pages/master-codebook) from the [Comparative Agendas Project](https://www.comparativeagendas.net/).

## How to use the model

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, pipeline

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("xlm-roberta-large")
pipe = pipeline(
    model="poltextlab/xlm-roberta-large-pooled-cap-minor",
    task="text-classification",
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    use_fast=False,
    token="<your_hf_read_only_token>"
)

text = "We will place an immediate 6-month halt on the finance driven closure of beds and wards, and set up an independent audit of needs and facilities."
pipe(text)
```

### Gated access
Due to the gated access, you must pass the `token` parameter when loading the model. In earlier versions of the Transformers package, you may need to use the `use_auth_token` parameter instead.

## Model performance
The model was evaluated on a test set of 15 349 english examples (20% of the english data).<br>
* Accuracy: **0.65**.
* Weighted Average F1-score: **0.64**

## Inference platform
This model is used by the [CAP Babel Machine](https://babel.poltextlab.com), an open-source and free natural language processing tool, designed to simplify and speed up projects for comparative research.  

## Cooperation
Model performance can be significantly improved by extending our training sets. We appreciate every submission of CAP-coded corpora (of any domain and language) at poltextlab{at}poltextlab{dot}com or by using the [CAP Babel Machine](https://babel.poltextlab.com).

## Debugging and issues
This architecture uses the `sentencepiece` tokenizer. In order to run the model before `transformers==4.27` you need to install it manually.

If you encounter a `RuntimeError` when loading the model using the `from_pretrained()` method, adding `ignore_mismatched_sizes=True` should solve the issue.
