This multilingual model can perform natural language inference (NLI) on 100 languages and is therefore also suitable for multilingual zero-shot classification. The underlying model was pre-trained by Microsoft on the CC100 multilingual dataset. It was then fine-tuned on the XNLI dataset, which contains hypothesis-premise pairs from 15 languages, as well as the English MNLI dataset. As of December 2021, mDeBERTa-base is the best performing multilingual base-sized transformer model, introduced by Microsoft in this paper. If you are looking for a smaller, faster (but less performant) model, you can try multilingual-MiniLMv2-L6-mnli-xnli. This model was trained on the XNLI development dataset…
