xlm-roberta-base-lora-amharic-news-classification

This repo contains LoRA adapters for the xlm-roberta-base model finetuned on the Amharic-News-Text-classification-Dataset.

The finetuned model classifies an Amharic news article into one of the following 6 categories.

ሀገር አቀፍ ዜና (Local News)
መዝናኛ (Entertainment)
ስፖርት (Sports)
ቢዝነስ (Business)
ዓለም አቀፍ ዜና (International News)
ፖለቲካ (Politics)

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

Train Loss: 0.3563
Validation Loss: 0.3613
Validation Accuracy: 0.8642
Validation F1 Score (macro): 0.8220
Validation F1 Score (weighted): 0.8648

How to use

You can use this model with a pipeline for text classification. But first, you need to install the peft library like so:

pip install peft

Then, you can run the following code.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, pipeline

model_id = "xlm-roberta-base"
peft_model_id = "rasyosef/xlm-roberta-base-lora-amharic-news-classification" 

categories = ['ሀገር አቀፍ ዜና', 'መዝናኛ', 'ስፖርት', 'ቢዝነስ', 'ዓለም አቀፍ ዜና', 'ፖለቲካ']
id2label = {i: lbl for i, lbl in enumerate(categories)}
label2id = {lbl: i for i, lbl in enumerate(categories)}

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)

model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(
    model_id, 
    num_labels=len(categories), # 6
    id2label=id2label,
    label2id=label2id
)

model.load_adapter(peft_model_id)

classifier = pipeline("text-classification", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

classifier([

])

Output:

[{'label': 'ሀገር አቀፍ ዜና', 'score': 0.977573037147522}]
