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 fine-tuned version of XLM-RoBERTa-base performs Natural Language Inference (NLI), which is a text classification task.

<!-- <div id="assin_function"> **Definition 1.** Given a pair of sentences $$(premise, hypothesis)$, let $\hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}$ be the fine-tuned models' inference function: $$ \hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)} = \begin{cases} ENTAILMENT, & \text{if $premise$ entails $hypothesis$}\\ PARAPHRASE, & \text{if $premise$ entails $hypothesis$ and $hypothesis$ entails $premise$}\\ NONE & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} $$ </div> -->

The (premise, hypothesis) entailment definition used is the same as the one found in Salvatore's paper [1].

Therefore, this fine-tuned version of XLM-RoBERTa-base classifies pairs of sentences in the form (premise, hypothesis) into the classes entailment, neutral and contradiction.

Demo

Fine-Tuning Details

Fine-Tuning 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. -->

---

• Train Dataset: PLUE/MNLI <br>

• Evaluation Dataset used for Hyperparameter Tuning: PLUE/MNLI's validation split

• Test Datasets:

  • ASSIN's test split
  • ASSIN2's test split
  • PLUE/MNLI's validation matched split

---

This is a fine tuned version of XLM-RoBERTa-base using the PLUE/MNLI dataset. PLUE/MNLI is a corpus annotated with hypothesis/premise Portuguese sentence pairs suitable for detecting textual entailment, neutral or contradiction relationships between the members of such pairs. Such corpus is balanced among the three classes.

Fine-Tuning Procedure

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

The model's fine-tuning procedure can be summarized in three major subsequent tasks: <ol type="i"> <li>Data Processing:</li> PLUE/MNLI's validation and train splits were loaded from the Hugging Face Hub and processed afterwards; <li>Hyperparameter Tuning:</li> XLM-RoBERTa-base's hyperparameters were chosen with the help of the [Weights & Biases] API to track the results and upload the fine-tuned models; <li>Final Model Loading and Testing:</li> using the cross-tests approach described in the this section, the models' performance were measured using different datasets and metrics. </ol>

<!-- ##### Column Renaming The **Hugging Face**'s ```transformers``` module's ```DataCollator``` used by its ```Trainer``` requires that the ```class label``` column of the collated dataset to be called ```label```. [ASSIN](https://huggingface.co/datasets/assin)'s class label column for each hypothesis/premise pair is called ```entailment_judgement```. Therefore, as the first step of the data preprocessing pipeline the column ```entailment_judgement``` was renamed to ```label``` so that the **Hugging Face**'s ```transformers``` module's ```Trainer``` could be used. -->

Hyperparameter Tuning

<!-- The model's training hyperparameters were chosen according to the following definition: <div id="hyperparameter_tuning"> **Definition 2.** Let $Hyperparms= \{i: i \text{ is an hyperparameter of } \hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}\}$ and $\hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}$ be the model's inference function defined in [Definition 1](#assin_function) : $$ Hyperparms = \argmax_{hyp}(eval\_acc(\hat{f}^{(xlmr\_base)}_{hyp}, assin\_validation)) $$ </div> -->

The following hyperparameters were tested in order to maximize the evaluation accuracy.

• Number of Training Epochs: $(1,2,3)$
• Per Device Train Batch Size: $(8,16,32)$
• Learning Rate: $(1e−5, 2e−5, 3e−5)$

The hyperaparemeter tuning experiments were run and tracked using the Weights & Biases' API and can be found at this link.

Training Hyperparameters

The hyperparameter tuning performed yelded the following values:

• Number of Training Epochs: $3$
• Per Device Train Batch Size: $16$
• Learning Rate: $2e-5$

Evaluation

ASSIN

Testing this model in ASSIN's test split required some translation of the NONE and PARAPHRASE classes found in it, because such classes are not present in PLUE/MNLI. The NONE class was considered contradiction or neutral, and PARAPHRASE was considered entailment in both ways: from premise to hypothesis and from hypothesis to premise. More details on such translation can be found in Modelos para Inferência em Linguagem Natural que entendem a Língua Portuguesa.

ASSIN2

Testing this model in ASSIN2's test split required some translation of the NONE classe found in it, because such class is not present in PLUE/MNLI. The NONE class was considered contradiction or neutral. More details on such translation can be found in Modelos para Inferência em Linguagem Natural que entendem a Língua Portuguesa.

PLUE/MNLI

Testing this model in PLUE/MNLI's test set was straightforward as it was fine-tuned in its training set.

More information on how such mapping is performed can be found in Modelos para Inferência em Linguagem Natural que entendem a Língua Portuguesa.

Metrics

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

The model's performance metrics for each test dataset are presented separately. Accuracy, f1 score, precision and recall were the metrics used to every evaluation performed. Such metrics are reported below. More information on such metrics them will be available in our ongoing research paper.
