Model Card for Model ID

We fine-tuned the jphme/em_german_leo_mistral with a set of ca. 2000 newspaper articles which have been simplified by the Austrian Press Agency. Our aim was to have a model which can simplify German-language text.

Model Details

Model Description

  • Developed by: Members of the Public Interest AI research group, HIIG Berlin

  • Language(s) (NLP): German
  • License: Apache 2.0
  • Finetuned from model: jphme/em_german_leo_mistral

Model Sources

Uses

Direct Use

This model works best for simplifying German-language newspaper articles (news items, not commentaries or editorials). It may work for other types of texts.

Downstream Use

We have fine-tuned using only newspaper articles. We have not yet performed extensive out-of-domain testing, but believe that the model's capabilities could be improved by fine-tuning on more diverse data. Contact us if you have a dataset which you think could work (parallel texts, German standard & German simplified).

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

As with most text generation models, the model sometimes produces information that is incorrect.

Recommendations

Please check manually that your output text corresponds to the input text, as factual inconsistencies may have arisen.

Evaluation

Summary

For now, we have manually checked the performance of our model on a small sample of texts. Whilst it seems to produce good summaries of all texts, it only seems to simplify newspaper articles (i.e. similar to our training data). We have not yet applied any large-scale metrics based evaluation.
