Model Card for DistilBERT German Text Complexity

This model is version of distilbert-base-german-cased fine-tuned for text complexity prediction on a scale between 1 and 7.

Direct Use

To use this model, use our eval_distilbert.py script.

Training Details

The model is a fine-tuned version of the distilbert-base-german-cased and a contribution to the GermEval 2022 shared task on text complexity prediction. It was fine-tuned on the dataset by Naderi et al, 2019. For further details, visit our KONVENS paper.
