bert-base-multilingual-cased-dytr

Model Card for Model ID

This model performs Part-of-Speech (POS) tagging for Arabic text using a character-level BIO tagging scheme. It is specifically trained on the Holy Quran and built with the dytr (Dynamic Transformer) library, enabling continual learning and multi-task capabilities.

Key Features

• ✅ Character-level BIO tagging for handling complex Arabic morphology
• ✅ Trained on Quranic Arabic - high accuracy on classical texts
• ✅ Continual Learning ready - add new tasks without forgetting
• ✅ Multi-task capable - extend to NER, error detection, or generation
