Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited support for diverse Chinese dialects and writing systems

   The model is trained primarily on standard written Mandarin, which may lead to suboptimal performance with other Chinese dialects or traditional characters.

2. 02

   Performance degradation with out-of-domain texts

   The model's accuracy drops significantly when applied to texts that differ from its training corpus, such as historical documents or specialized domains like law and medicine.

3. 03

   Complex setup process for non-expert users

   Setting up the environment requires a deep understanding of Python libraries and dependencies, which can be challenging for developers without extensive NLP experience.

4. 04

   Lack of comprehensive documentation and examples

   The project's documentation is sparse, with limited examples and tutorials to guide users through common use cases and troubleshooting steps.
