Introduction

The XLM-RoBERTa-XL is an extra-large multilingual version of the RoBERTa model, pre-trained on 2.5TB of filtered CommonCrawl data spanning 100 languages. It employs the Masked Language Modeling (MLM) approach, enabling the model to learn bidirectional representations of sentences. This model is primarily intended for tasks like sequence classification, token classification, or question answering.

Architecture

XLM-RoBERTa-XL uses a transformers architecture, leveraging a self-supervised pre-training method on raw text data. The MLM objective masks 15% of the words in the input sentence, requiring the model to predict these masked words, which helps in learning robust representations for multilingual tasks.

Training

The model was trained using a self-supervised approach on CommonCrawl data in 100 languages, with the objective of masked language modeling. The model learns to predict masked words in a sentence, allowing it to develop a deep understanding of the linguistic structures across different languages.

Guide: Running Locally

To run XLM-RoBERTa-XL locally, you can use the Hugging Face Transformers library. Below are the basic steps:

1. Install the Transformers Library:

   pip install transformers
   

2. Load the Model and Tokenizer:

   from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
   
   tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('facebook/xlm-roberta-xxl')
   model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("facebook/xlm-roberta-xxl")
   

3. Prepare Input and Run the Model:

   text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
   encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
   output = model(**encoded_input)
   

4. Use Cloud GPUs:
   For optimal performance, especially with large models like XLM-RoBERTa-XL, consider using cloud-based GPU services such as AWS EC2, Google Cloud Platform, or Microsoft Azure.
