Arabic End-of-Turn (EOU) Detection Model — MARBERT Fine-Tuned

This model fine-tunes MARBERT for detecting end-of-turn (EOU) boundaries in Arabic dialogue.
It predicts whether a given user message represents a continuation or an end of turn.

🧪 How to Use

Python (PyTorch)

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

model_name = "nihad-ask/marbert-EOU-detection-model"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

text = "تمام و بعدين؟"

inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
prediction = torch.argmax(outputs.logits, dim=1).item()

if prediction == 1:
    print("End of turn")
else:
    print("Speaker will continue")
