jobBERT-de

This is a domain-adapted transformer-based language model for German-speaking job advertisements.

Is is based on bert-base-german-cased and adapted to the domain of job advertisements trough continued in-domain pretraining on 4 million German-speaking job ads from Switzerland 1990-2020 (5.9 GB data). Empty spots in the vocabulary of the base model were filled with most frequent domain-specific words, subtokens and abbreviations.

Intended usage and limitations

You can use the model for masked language modeling, but it's intended to be fine-tuned on a downstream task.

The model is trained on German-Speaking job ads from Switzerland. It inherits potential bias of its base model, and may contain biases and stereotypes common in job advertisements.
