HerBERT

HerBERT is a BERT-based Language Model trained on Polish Corpora using only MLM objective with dynamic masking of whole words. For more details, please refer to: KLEJ: Comprehensive Benchmark for Polish Language Understanding.

Dataset

HerBERT training dataset is a combination of several publicly available corpora for Polish language:

Tokenizer

The training dataset was tokenized into subwords using HerBERT Tokenizer; a character level byte-pair encoding with a vocabulary size of 50k tokens. The tokenizer itself was trained on Wolne Lektury and a publicly available subset of National Corpus of Polish with a fastBPE library.

Tokenizer utilizes XLMTokenizer implementation for that reason, one should load it as allegro/herbert-klej-cased-tokenizer-v1.

HerBERT models summary

Model evaluation

HerBERT was evaluated on the KLEJ benchmark, publicly available set of nine evaluation tasks for the Polish language understanding. It had the best average performance and obtained the best results for three of them.

Full leaderboard is available online.

HerBERT usage

Model training and experiments were conducted with transformers in version 2.0.

Example code:

from transformers import XLMTokenizer, RobertaModel

tokenizer = XLMTokenizer.from_pretrained("allegro/herbert-klej-cased-tokenizer-v1")
model = RobertaModel.from_pretrained("allegro/herbert-klej-cased-v1")

encoded_input = tokenizer.encode("Kto ma lepszą sztukę, ma lepszy rząd – to jasne.", return_tensors='pt')
outputs = model(encoded_input)

HerBERT can also be loaded using AutoTokenizer and AutoModel:

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allegro/herbert-klej-cased-tokenizer-v1")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("allegro/herbert-klej-cased-v1")
