HalleluBERT: Let every token that has meaning bear its weight

HalleluBERT is a family of RoBERTa-based Modern Hebrew language models pre-trained from scratch on ~49.1 GB of deduplicated Hebrew web text (HeDC4 / HeRo corpus) and Hebrew Wikipedia. The models aim to provide the first fully converged Hebrew RoBERTa encoder family, including a large variant, and to push state-of-the-art performance on core Hebrew benchmarks.

We release two variants:

• HalleluBERT-base: 126M parameters (fp32)
• HalleluBERT-large: 357M parameters (fp32)

Model Details

Downstream Evaluation

We evaluate HalleluBERT on three Hebrew benchmarks (following the HeRo suite, restricted to NER + sentiment):

• NER (BMC split 1): micro-F1
• NER (NEMO², token-level): micro-F1
• Sentiment (SMCD, deduplicated): macro-F1

We select the best configuration by validation performance and report the best score out of 10 runs on the official test sets.
