s-nlp/roberta-base-formality-ranker

The model has been trained to predict for English sentences, whether they are formal or informal.

Base model: roberta-base

Datasets: GYAFC from Rao and Tetreault, 2018 and online formality corpus from Pavlick and Tetreault, 2016.

Data augmentation: changing texts to upper or lower case; removing all punctuation, adding dot at the end of a sentence. It was applied because otherwise the model is over-reliant on punctuation and capitalization and does not pay enough attention to other features.

Loss: binary classification (on GYAFC), in-batch ranking (on PT data).

Performance metrics on the test data:
