Twitter-XLM-Roberta-base

This is a XLM-Roberta-base model trained on ~198M multilingual tweets, described and evaluated in the reference paper. To evaluate this and other LMs on Twitter-specific data, please refer to the main repository. A usage example is provided below.

Computing tweet similarity

    new_text = []
    for t in text.split(" "):
        t = '@user' if t.startswith('@') and len(t) > 1 else t
        t = 'http' if t.startswith('http') else t
        new_text.append(t)
    return " ".join(new_text)

    text = preprocess(text)
    encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
    features = model(**encoded_input)
    features = features[0].detach().numpy() 
    features_mean = np.mean(features[0], axis=0)
