Model Card for Model ID

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. --> This model is a DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B finetuned on the BIGNEWSBLN center leaning corpora.

It was done for a course project for the class CSE 582 at UW

Model Details + Description

The model as mentioned above is a distilled DeepSeek model using a base model of Qwen 1.5B Math. It was finetuned on the news corpora.

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. --> This model is mainly used to generate responses to questions from the Political Compass and 8values test.

Out-of-Scope Use

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

This model was intentionally biased for a course project. It should not be used in anyway to create misinformation, generate biased statements or do other harm. This model was finetuned on biased corpora for research purposes

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. --> By finetuning this model on biased political corpora, it is highly likely that such biases would be reflected in its generated statements. As mentioned before, this was only done for research purposes and shouldn't be misused.

How to Get Started with the Model

Download the latest model checkpoint down to your repository using huggingface-cli and use it for generating responses to questions.

Training Details

Training Data

<!-- This should link to a Dataset Card, perhaps with a short stub of information on what the training data is all about as well as documentation related to data pre-processing or additional filtering. --> The model was finetuned on the center-leaning corpora of the BIGNEWSBLN dataset.
