Model Card for mT5-counternarrative-en

This is a fine-tuned text-to-text mT5-base model to generate counternarratives against hate speech. The model has been fine-tuned on the CONAN-EUS splits of the original CONAN dataset.

The CONAN (COunter NArratives through Nichesourcing) dataset was published by Chung et al., 2019 and is publicly available in https://github.com/marcoguerini/CONAN.

CONAN-EUS was created by professionally translating all 6654 English HS-CN pairs of the original CONAN dataset into Basque and Spanish. For experimentation we generated train, validation and test splits in a way that no HS-CN pairs occurred across them.

<table style="width:33%"> <tr> <th>CONAN-EUS Splits</th> <th>Total HS-CN Count</th> <tr> <td>train</td> <td>4833</td> </tr> <tr> <td>validation</td> <td>537</td> </tr> <tr> <td>test</td> <td>1278</td> </tr> </table>
