Jargon-general-legal

Jargon is an efficient transformer encoder LM for French, combining the LinFormer attention mechanism with the RoBERTa model architecture.

Jargon is available in several versions with different context sizes and types of pre-training corpora.

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. --> <!-- This modelcard aims to be a base template for new models. It has been generated using [this raw template](https://github.com/huggingface/huggingface_hub/blob/main/src/huggingface_hub/templates/modelcard_template.md?plain=1). -->

Evaluation

The Jargon models were evaluated on an range of specialized downstream tasks.

Legal Domain Benchmark

Results averaged across five funs with varying random seeds.

Using Jargon models with HuggingFace transformers

You can get started with this model using the code snippet below:

from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer, pipeline

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("PantagrueLLM/jargon-general-legal", trust_remote_code=True)
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("PantagrueLLM/jargon-general-legal", trust_remote_code=True)

jargon_maskfiller = pipeline("fill-mask", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
output = jargon_maskfiller("Il est allé au <mask> hier")

You can also use the classes AutoModel, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, or AutoModelForTokenClassification to load Jargon models, depending on the downstream task in question.
