What is fullstop-punctuation-multilang-large?
This is a sophisticated multilingual model designed to restore punctuation in transcribed text across four major European languages. Built on the XLM-RoBERTa architecture, it specializes in predicting five types of punctuation marks: periods, commas, question marks, hyphens, and colons. The model was trained on the Europarl Dataset, making it particularly effective for formal and political discourse.
Implementation Details
The model leverages transformer-based architecture and achieves impressive F1 scores across different languages, with particularly strong performance in German (0.814 macro average) and English (0.775 macro average). It can process text of any length and is implemented through a simple Python package called 'deepmultilingualpunctuation'.
