# MovieCert Hindi Teacher Model

## Model Details

### Model Description

This repository contains the Hindi Teacher model developed for the research paper **"Lightweight and Explainable Neural Models for Multilingual Movie Script Certification."**

The model is fine-tuned from the multilingual DistilBERT architecture to classify Hindi movie scripts into age-rating categories. It serves as the teacher model in a knowledge distillation framework used to develop lightweight student models for efficient deployment.

- **Developed by:** Pratik N. Kalamkar
- **Funded by:** Self-funded academic research
- **Shared by:** Pratik N. Kalamkar
- **Model type:** Transformer-based sequence classification model (DistilBERT)
- **Language(s):** Hindi
- **License:** Apache 2.0
- **Finetuned from model:** distilbert-base-multilingual-cased

# Uses

## Direct Use

This model is intended for automated classification of Hindi movie scripts into age-rating categories.

Potential applications include:

- Automated movie certification research
- Movie script analysis
- Content moderation
- Academic NLP research
- Benchmarking multilingual transformer models

---

## Downstream Use

The model may be used as:

- Teacher model for knowledge distillation
- Base model for further fine-tuning
- Feature extractor
- Long-document text classification research

---

## Out-of-Scope Use

This model is **not** intended for:

- Legal or official movie certification decisions
- Safety-critical systems
- Hate speech detection
- Sentiment analysis
- Medical or legal decision making

Predictions should not replace human review.

---

# Bias, Risks and Limitations

The model was trained using a curated dataset of Hindi movie scripts and inherits limitations of the dataset, including:

- Limited dataset size
- Possible class imbalance
- Genre imbalance
- Cultural bias
- Language-specific ambiguity

Performance may decrease on scripts that differ substantially from the training distribution.

---

## Recommendations

The model should be used as an assistive tool rather than a replacement for human reviewers.

---

# Training Details

## Training Data

The model was trained using the **Hindi Movie Scripts with Verified Age Ratings** https://huggingface.co/datasets/pratikkalamkar/Movie_Scripts_with_Age_Ratings_by_Pratik_Kalamkar-Hi dataset curated by the author.

Training data consists of Hindi movie scripts labelled with their corresponding age ratings.

---
