## Model Details

- **Model Name**: DistilBERT for Educational Query Classification
- **Model Architecture**: DistilBERT (base model: `distilbert-base-uncased`)
- **Language**: English
- **Model Type**: Transformer-based text classification model
- **License**: [Apache License 2.0](https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0)

## Overview

This model is a fine-tuned version of [DistilBERT](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-uncased) specifically designed for classifying queries as either educational or non-educational. It was trained on a dataset containing a variety of questions and statements, with each entry labeled as either "educational" or "non-educational."

## Intended Use

- **Primary Use Case**: This model is intended to classify text inputs into two categories: "educational" or "non-educational." It is useful for applications that need to filter out or prioritize educational content.
- **Potential Applications**:
  - Educational chatbots or virtual assistants
  - Content moderation for educational platforms
  - Automated tagging of educational content
  - Filtering non-educational queries from educational websites or apps

## Training Data

- **Dataset**: The model was fine-tuned on a custom educational dataset. This dataset includes various types of queries that are labeled based on their content as either "educational" or "non-educational."
- **Dataset Source**: The dataset was manually curated to include a balanced mix of educational questions (covering various academic subjects) and non-educational questions (general queries that do not pertain to educational content).

## Training Procedure

- **Framework**: The model was trained using the [Hugging Face Transformers library](https://huggingface.co/transformers/) with PyTorch.
- **Fine-Tuning Parameters**:
  - **Batch Size**: 16
  - **Learning Rate**: 5e-5
  - **Epochs**: 3
  - **Optimizer**: AdamW with weight decay
- **Hardware**: Fine-tuning was performed on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU.

## Limitations and Bias

While this model has been fine-tuned for classifying queries as educational or non-educational, there are some limitations and potential biases:

- **Bias in Data**: The model may reflect any biases present in the training data, particularly if certain topics or types of educational content are overrepresented or underrepresented.
- **Binary Classification**: The model categorizes inputs strictly as "educational" or "non-educational." It may not handle nuanced or ambiguous queries effectively.
- **Not Suitable for Other Classifications**: This model is specifically designed for educational vs. non-educational classification. It may not perform well on other types of classification tasks without further fine-tuning.

## How to Use

You can load the model using the Hugging Face Transformers library:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("haider0941/distilbert-base-educationl")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("haider0941/distilbert-base-educationl")

input_text = "What is the capital of France?"
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
```
