## Model description  
RoBERTa-large-bne is a transformer-based masked language model for the Spanish language. It is based on the [RoBERTa](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11692) large model and has been pre-trained using the largest Spanish corpus known to date, with a total of 570GB of clean and deduplicated text processed for this work, compiled from the web crawlings performed by the  [National Library of Spain (Biblioteca Nacional de España)](http://www.bne.es/en/Inicio/index.html) from 2009 to 2019.

## Intended uses and limitations

## How to use

## Limitations and bias
At the time of submission, no measures have been taken to estimate the bias embedded in the model. However, we are well aware that our models may be biased since the corpora have been collected using crawling techniques on multiple web sources. We intend to conduct research in these areas in the future, and if completed, this model card will be updated.

## Training
The dataset used is the one from the [CAPITEL competition at IberLEF 2020](https://sites.google.com/view/capitel2020) (sub-task 1).

## Evaluation 
F1 Score: 0.8998
