# mbart-neutralization
This model is a fine-tuned version of facebook/mbart-large-50 on the hackathon-pln-es/neutral-es dataset.
It learns to paraphrase gender-marked expressions into an inclusive style. For example, "La enfermera me curó" → "El personal sanitario me curó",
thereby promoting more inclusive language.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.0118
- BLEU: 63.5448
- Generation length: 36.7604
## Model description
mBART-50 is a pretrained multilingual encoder–decoder (sequence-to-sequence) model that supports 50 languages.
It was designed to show that, instead of fine-tuning a separate model for each language pair, a single pre-trained model can be fine-tuned simultaneously on multiple
translation directions.
Building on the original mBART, it extends coverage by adding 25 more languages (for a total of 50), delivering a truly multilingual solution.
During pre-training, mBART-50 employs a denoising autoencoding objective:
monolingual sentences are “noised” by randomly shuffling their order and span-masking a portion of tokens, and the model learns to reconstruct the original text.
## Intended uses
- Reducing gender bias in Spanish texts via monolingual style transfer.
- Preprocessing step in NLP pipelines (e.g. for editorial tools or inclusive content generation).
- As a basis for further fine-tuning on related sequence-to-sequence tasks (summarization, paraphrasing).
## Limitations
- Only neutralizes gendered expressions in Spanish; it does not translate between languages.
- Quality may degrade on domain-specific or very technical texts outside the training distribution.
- May occasionally produce ungrammatical or awkward phrasing when forced to alter rare word combinations.
