Cleanliness Rating Model

This repository contains the model described in the paper Meta-rater: A Multi-dimensional Data Selection Method for Pre-training Language Models.

Code: https://github.com/opendatalab/Meta-rater

Model Description

This model is a fine-tuned version of ModernBERT-base designed to evaluate the Cleanliness dimension of text quality on a 5-point scale (0-5). Cleanliness measures how well-formatted, complete, and noise-free a text is, focusing on structural integrity rather than semantic content.

Model Details

  • Base Model: ModernBERT-base
  • Parameters: 149M
  • Context Window: 4,096 tokens
  • Task: Text quality rating (regression)
  • Score Range: 0-5 (continuous)
  • Performance: 87.88% F1 score, 92.25% accuracy

Rating Scale

The model uses a 5-point rating system based on four key criteria:

  • 0: Absolute noisy content.
  • 1: Serious formatting/structural issues that significantly affect fluency
  • 2: Obvious problems that noticeably affect reading fluency
  • 3: Some problems present but don't seriously impact reading fluency
  • 4: Minor issues that don't affect overall readability
  • 5: Perfect formatting and structure across all criteria

Evaluation Criteria

The model assesses text across four main dimensions:

1. Correct Formatting

  • Text appears human-edited rather than machine-extracted
  • No inappropriate or corrupted characters
  • Proper text structure and layout

2. Appropriate Content

  • No irrelevant links, advertisements, or spam
  • Sufficient content length to extract clear structure and theme
  • Content focused on the main topic

3. Completeness Content

  • Complete sentences written naturally by humans
  • Coherent opinions, facts, or stories rather than fragments
  • Proper article structure and flow

Note: Text ending with $TRUNCATED$ is considered a manual ending flag and doesn't affect completeness scoring.

Usage

python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
import torch

# Load the model and tokenizer
model_name = "opendatalab/meta-rater-cleanliness-rating"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Example text
text = "This is a well-formatted article about renewable energy. It contains complete sentences and proper structure."

# Tokenize and predict
inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, max_length=4096)
with torch.no_grad():
    outputs = model(**inputs)
    score = outputs.logits.squeeze().argmax(dim=0)

print(f"Cleanliness Score: {score:.2f}")

Training Details

  • Training Data: 747,422 examples from SlimPajama dataset
  • Annotation Model: Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct
  • Training Epochs: 10
  • Evaluation Split: 93,428 test examples
  • Data Split: 8:1:1 (train:dev:test)

Applications

This model is particularly useful for:

  • Web scraping quality control and content filtering
  • Data preprocessing for machine learning datasets
  • Content management systems for automated quality checks
  • Data curation for language model pre-training
  • Document digitization quality assessment
  • Automated content moderation and filtering

Common Issues Detected

The model can identify various types of text quality problems:

  • Formatting artifacts from web scraping or OCR
  • Incomplete sentences or fragmented text
  • Excessive links or promotional content
  • Corrupted characters or encoding issues
  • Poor structure with inadequate content organization
  • Advertisement contamination and irrelevant insertions

What the Model Does NOT Consider

  • The specific language the text is written in
  • The length of the text
  • Usage of placeholders for data privacy or safety
  • Content topic, professionalism, or semantic meaning
  • Writing style or grammatical sophistication

Use Cases by Score Range

  • 4.0-5.0: High-quality content suitable for training data
  • 3.0-3.9: Acceptable content with minor cleaning needed
  • 2.0-2.9: Moderate issues requiring preprocessing
  • 1.0-1.9: Significant problems, may need extensive cleaning
  • 0.0-0.9: Poor quality, likely unsuitable for most applications

Limitations

  • Designed primarily for English text
  • May not detect all domain-specific formatting conventions
  • Performance may vary for highly technical formats (code, mathematical notation)
  • Should be used in conjunction with other quality metrics for comprehensive assessment
