Model Details

Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->

Model Sources [optional]

<!-- Provide the basic links for the model. -->

Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. --> The model should be used giving a short paragraph of text in Italian as input about which it is requested to get the most probable class.

Direct Use

<!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->

TBA

Out-of-Scope Use

<!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. -->

The model should not be used as a general purpose classifier, i.e. on text which is not originated from news programme transcription or siilar content.

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

The training dataset is made up of automatic transcriptions from RAI Italian newscasts, therefore there is an intrinsic bias in the kind of topics included in the dataset.

Environmental Impact

<!-- Total emissions (in grams of CO2eq) and additional considerations, such as electricity usage, go here. Edit the suggested text below accordingly -->

Carbon emissions can be estimated using the Machine Learning Impact calculator presented in Lacoste et al. (2019).
