What is distilbert-german-text-complexity?
This is a specialized German language model designed for predicting text complexity on a scale of 1 to 7. Built upon the distilbert-base-german-cased architecture, it was fine-tuned specifically for the GermEval 2022 shared task on text complexity prediction using the Naderi et al. (2019) dataset. The model represents a significant contribution to German language processing, particularly in assessing text difficulty levels.
Implementation Details
The model leverages the DistilBERT architecture, which is a lighter version of BERT that maintains high performance while reducing computational requirements. It was specifically trained to understand and evaluate the complexity of German texts, making it particularly valuable for educational and content adaptation purposes.
