# Basic Information
This is the Dr. Decr model used in XOR-TyDi leaderboard task 1 whitebox submission.
https://nlp.cs.washington.edu/xorqa/
The detailed implementation of the model can be found in:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2112.08185.pdf
Source code to train the model can be found via PrimeQA's IR component:
https://github.com/primeqa/primeqa/tree/main/examples/drdecr
It is a Neural IR model built on top of the ColBERTv1 api and not directly compatible with Huggingface API. The inference result on XOR Dev dataset is:
```

ru 63.07 69.71
ar 78.15 82.77
Avg 70.60 75.61
```
# Limitations and Bias
This model used pre-trained XLM-R base model and fine tuned on 7 languages in XOR-TyDi leaderboard. The performance of other languages was not tested.
Since the model was fine-tuned on a large pre-trained language model XLM-Roberta, biases associated with the pre-existing XLM-Roberta model may be present in our fine-tuned model, Dr. Decr
