# Model Details
The XLM model was proposed in [Cross-lingual Language Model Pretraining](https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.07291) by Guillaume Lample, Alexis Conneau. xlm-mlm-ende-1024 is a transformer pretrained using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective for English-German. This model uses language embeddings to specify the language used at inference. See the [Hugging Face Multilingual Models for Inference docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.20.1/en/multilingual#xlm-with-language-embeddings) for further details.
## Model Description
- **Developed by:** Guillaume Lample, Alexis Conneau, see [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.07291)
- **Model type:** Language model
- **Language(s) (NLP):** English-German

# Uses
## Direct Use
The model is a language model. The model can be used for masked language modeling.
## Downstream Use
To learn more about this task and potential downstream uses, see the Hugging Face [fill mask docs](https://huggingface.co/tasks/fill-mask) and the [Hugging Face Multilingual Models for Inference](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/v4.20.1/en/multilingual#xlm-with-language-embeddings) docs.
## Out-of-Scope Use
The model should not be used to intentionally create hostile or alienating environments for people.
# Bias, Risks, and Limitations
Significant research has explored bias and fairness issues with language models (see, e.g., [Sheng et al. (2021)](https://aclanthology.org/2021.acl-long.330.pdf) and [Bender et al. (2021)](https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3442188.3445922)).
## Recommendations
Users (both direct and downstream) should be made aware of the risks, biases and limitations of the model.
# Training
The model developers write:
> In all experiments, we use a Transformer architecture with 1024 hidden units, 8 heads, GELU activations (Hendrycks and Gimpel, 2016), a dropout rate of 0.1 and learned positional embeddings. We train our models with the Adam op- timizer (Kingma and Ba, 2014), a linear warm- up (Vaswani et al., 2017) and learning rates varying from 10^−4 to 5.10^−4.
See the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.07291.pdf) for links, citations, and further details on the training data and training procedure.
The model developers also write that:
> If you use these models, you should use the same data preprocessing / BPE codes to preprocess your data.
See the associated [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/facebookresearch/XLM#ii-cross-lingual-language-model-pretraining-xlm) for further details.
# Evaluation
## Testing Data, Factors & Metrics
The model developers evaluated the model on the [WMT'16 English-German](https://huggingface.co/datasets/wmt16) dataset using the [BLEU metric](https://huggingface.co/spaces/evaluate-metric/bleu). See the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.07291.pdf) for further details on the testing data, factors and metrics.
## Results
For xlm-mlm-ende-1024 results, see Table 1 and Table 2 of the [associated paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1901.07291.pdf).
# Environmental Impact
Carbon emissions can be estimated using the [Machine Learning Impact calculator](https://mlco2.github.io/impact#compute) presented in [Lacoste et al. (2019)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1910.09700).

# Technical Specifications
The model developers write:
> We implement all our models in PyTorch (Paszke et al., 2017), and train them on 64 Volta GPUs for the language modeling tasks, and 8 GPUs for the MT tasks. We use float16 operations to speed up training and to reduce the memory usage of our models.
