+# Multilingual mDeBERTa-v3-base-mnli-xnli
+## Model description
+This multilingual model can perform NLI on 100+ languages. It was pre-trained by Microsoft on the [CC100 multilingual dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cc100). It was then fine-tuned on the [XNLI dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/xnli), which contains hypothesis-premise pairs from 15 languages as well as the English [MNLI dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/multi_nli).
+As of December 2021, mDeBERTa-base is the best performing multilingual transformer model, introduced by Microsoft in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2111.09543.pdf). 
+
+
+## Intended uses & limitations
+#### How to use the model
+```python
+from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
+import torch
+model_name = "MoritzLaurer/mDeBERTa-v3-base-xnli-mnli"
+tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
+model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
+premise = "I first thought that I liked the movie, but upon second thought it was actually disappointing."
+hypothesis = "The movie was good."
+input = tokenizer(premise, hypothesis, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
+output = model(input["input_ids"].to(device))  # device = "cuda:0" or "cpu"
+prediction = torch.softmax(output["logits"][0], -1).tolist()
+label_names = ["entailment", "neutral", "contradiction"]
+prediction = {name: round(float(pred) * 100, 1) for pred, name in zip(prediction, label_names)}
+print(prediction)
+```
+
+### Training data
+This model was trained on the development set of the XNLI dataset and the MNLI dataset. The XNLI development set consists of 5010 professionally translated texts for each of 15 languages (see [this paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1809.05053.pdf)). Note that the XNLI train set also contains machine 15 machine translated versions of the MNLI dataset, but due to quality issues with these machine translations, the model was only trained on the XNLI development and the original English MNLI training set (392 702 texts). Not using machine translated texts can avoid overfitting the model to the 15 languages and avoid catastrophic forgetting of the other 85 languages mDeBERTa was pre-trained on. 
+
+### Training procedure
+DeBERTa-v3-base-mnli was trained using the Hugging Face trainer with the following hyperparameters.
+```
+training_args = TrainingArguments(
+    num_train_epochs=2,              # total number of training epochs
+    learning_rate=2e-05,
+    per_device_train_batch_size=16,   # batch size per device during training
+    per_device_eval_batch_size=16,    # batch size for evaluation
+    warmup_ratio=0.1,                # number of warmup steps for learning rate scheduler
+    weight_decay=0.06,               # strength of weight decay
+)
+```
+### Eval results
+The model was evaluated using the matched test set and achieves 0.90 accuracy.
