+# LiLT-RoBERTa (base-sized model) 
+
+Language-Independent Layout Transformer - RoBERTa model by stitching a pre-trained RoBERTa (English) and a pre-trained Language-Independent Layout Transformer (LiLT) together. It was introduced in the paper [LiLT: A Simple yet Effective Language-Independent Layout Transformer for Structured Document Understanding](https://arxiv.org/abs/2202.13669) by Wang et al. and first released in [this repository](https://github.com/jpwang/lilt).
+
+Disclaimer: The team releasing LiLT did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by the Hugging Face team.
+
+## Model description
+
+The Language-Independent Layout Transformer (LiLT) allows to combine any pre-trained RoBERTa encoder from the hub (hence, in any language) with a lightweight Layout Transformer to have a LayoutLM-like model for any language.

+
+## Intended uses & limitations
+
+The model is meant to be fine-tuned on tasks like document image classification, document parsing and document QA. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?search=lilt) to look for fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.
+
+### How to use
