Model overview
The bert-restore-punctuation model is a BERT-based model that has been fine-tuned on the Yelp Reviews dataset for the task of punctuation restoration. This model can predict the punctuation and upper-casing of plain, lower-cased text, making it useful for tasks like automatic speech recognition output or other cases where text has lost its original punctuation.
The model was fine-tuned by felflare, who describes it as intended for direct use as a punctuation restoration model for general English language. However, it can also be used as a starting point for further fine-tuning on domain-specific texts for punctuation restoration.
Model inputs and outputs
Inputs
- Plain, lower-cased text without punctuation
Outputs
- The input text with restored punctuation and capitalization
Capabilities
The bert-restore-punctuation model is capable of restoring the following punctuation marks: [! ? . , - : ; ' ]. It also restores the upper-casing of words in the input text.
What can I use it for?
This model can be used for a variety of applications that involve processing text with missing punctuation, such as:
- Automatic speech recognition (ASR) output processing
- Cleaning up text data that has lost its original formatting
- Preprocessing text for downstream natural language processing tasks
Things to try
One interesting aspect of this model is its ability to restore not just punctuation, but also capitalization. This could be useful in scenarios where the case information has been lost, such as when working with text that has been converted to all lower-case. You could experiment with using the bert-restore-punctuation model as a preprocessing step for other NLP tasks to see if the restored formatting improves the overall performance.

fullstop-punctuation-multilang-large
oliverguhr
The fullstop-punctuation-multilang-large model is a multilingual punctuation restoration model developed by Oliver Guhr. It can predict punctuation for English, Italian, French, and German text, making it useful for tasks like transcription of spoken language. The model was trained on the Europarl dataset provided by the SEPP-NLG Shared Task. It can restore common punctuation marks like periods, commas, question marks, hyphens, and colons. Similar models include bert-restore-punctuation and bert-base-multilingual-uncased-sentiment, which focus on punctuation restoration and multilingual sentiment analysis respectively. Model inputs and outputs Inputs Text**: The model takes in raw text that may be missing punctuation. Outputs Punctuated text**: The model outputs the input text with punctuation marks restored at the appropriate locations. Capabilities The fullstop-punctuation-multilang-large model can effectively restore common punctuation in English, Italian, French, and German text. It performs best on restoring periods and commas, with F1 scores around 0.95 for those markers. The model struggles more with restoring less common punctuation like hyphens and colons, achieving F1 scores around 0.60 for those. What can I use it for? This model could be useful for any applications that involve transcribing or processing spoken language in the supported languages, such as automated captioning, meeting transcripts, or voice assistants. By automatically adding punctuation, the model can make the text more readable and natural. The multilingual aspect also makes it applicable across a range of international use cases. Companies could leverage this model to improve the quality of their speech-to-text pipelines or offer more polished text outputs to customers. Things to try One interesting aspect of this model is its ability to handle multiple languages. Practitioners could experiment with feeding it text in different languages and compare the punctuation restoration performance. It could also be fine-tuned on domain-specific datasets beyond the political speeches in Europarl to see if the model generalizes well. Additionally, combining this punctuation model with other NLP models like sentiment analysis or named entity recognition could lead to interesting applications for processing conversational data.

1-800-BAD-CODE
The xlm-roberta_punctuation_fullstop_truecase model, created by 1-800-BAD-CODE, restores punctuation and capitalization while detecting sentence boundaries across 47 languages. This model builds on similar work like fullstop-punctuation-multilang-large and bert-restore-punctuation, but expands the language coverage and functionality. Model Inputs and Outputs The model accepts raw text strings and transforms them into structured, grammatically formatted text with proper punctuation, capitalization, and sentence segmentation. Inputs Raw text strings without punctuation or proper capitalization Supports batch processing of multiple texts Accepts texts in 47 languages Outputs Properly capitalized text Restored punctuation marks Segmented sentences with proper boundaries List format with one punctuated, true-cased string per input text Capabilities The transformer architecture enables processing of multiple languages without requiring language-specific configuration. It handles sentence boundary detection, punctuation restoration, and true-casing in a single pass. The model recognizes special cases like acronyms (e.g., "p.m.", "a.m.") and maintains proper spacing around punctuation marks. What can I use it for? The model excels at cleaning transcribed speech, processing raw OCR output, and formatting user-generated content. It pairs with language detection models like xlm-roberta-base-language-detection for multilingual text processing pipelines. Applications include subtitle generation, document processing, and chat message formatting. Things to try Experiment with mixed-language inputs to test boundary detection across languages. Process transcribed conversations to restore natural reading flow. The model handles challenging cases like proper nouns and location names while maintaining appropriate capitalization. Test the batch processing capabilities for efficient document processing at scale.

bert-base-multilingual-uncased-sentiment
nlptown
The bert-base-multilingual-uncased-sentiment model is a BERT-based model that has been fine-tuned for sentiment analysis on product reviews across six languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, and Italian. This model can predict the sentiment of a review as a number of stars (between 1 and 5). It was developed by NLP Town, a provider of custom language models for various tasks and languages. Similar models include the twitter-XLM-roBERTa-base-sentiment model, which is a multilingual XLM-roBERTa model fine-tuned for sentiment analysis on tweets, and the sentiment-roberta-large-english model, which is a fine-tuned RoBERTa-large model for sentiment analysis in English. Model inputs and outputs Inputs Text**: The model takes product review text as input, which can be in any of the six supported languages (English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, Italian). Outputs Sentiment score**: The model outputs a sentiment score, which is an integer between 1 and 5 representing the number of stars the model predicts for the input review. Capabilities The bert-base-multilingual-uncased-sentiment model is capable of accurately predicting the sentiment of product reviews across multiple languages. For example, it can correctly identify a positive review like "This product is amazing!" as a 5-star review, or a negative review like "This product is terrible" as a 1-star review. What can I use it for? You can use this model for sentiment analysis on product reviews in any of the six supported languages. This could be useful for e-commerce companies, review platforms, or anyone interested in analyzing customer sentiment. The model could be used to automatically aggregate and analyze reviews, detect trends, or surface particularly positive or negative feedback. Things to try One interesting thing to try with this model is to experiment with reviews that contain a mix of languages. Since the model is multilingual, it may be able to correctly identify the sentiment even when the review contains words or phrases in multiple languages. You could also try fine-tuning the model further on a specific domain or language to see if you can improve the accuracy for your particular use case.
