Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

Direct Use

<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. --> <!-- If the user enters content, print that. If not, but they enter a task in the list, use that. If neither, say "more info needed." -->

Out-of-Scope Use

<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. --> <!-- If the user enters content, print that. If not, but they enter a task in the list, use that. If neither, say "more info needed." -->

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

Recommendations

<!-- This section is meant to convey recommendations with respect to the bias, risk, and technical limitations. -->

Training Details

Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Data Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. -->

More information on training data needed

Training Procedure

<!-- This relates heavily to the Technical Specifications. Content here should link to that section when it is relevant to the training procedure. -->

Preprocessing

More information needed

Speeds, Sizes, Times

<!-- This section provides information about throughput, start/end time, checkpoint size if relevant, etc. -->

More information needed

Evaluation

<!-- This section describes the evaluation protocols and provides the results. -->

Testing Data, Factors & Metrics

Testing Data

<!-- This should link to a Data Card if possible. -->

More information needed

Factors

<!-- These are the things the evaluation is disaggregating by, e.g., subpopulations or domains. -->

More information needed

Metrics

<!-- These are the evaluation metrics being used, ideally with a description of why. -->
