<h3>Model description</h3>

This is an uncased <b>BERT</b> <b>[1]</b> model for the <b>Italian</b> language, obtained using the uncased <b>mBERT</b> (bert-base-multilingual-uncased) as a starting point and focusing it on the Italian language by modifying the embedding layer (as in <b>[2]</b>, computing document-level frequencies over the <b>Wikipedia</b> dataset)

The resulting model has 110M parameters, a vocabulary of 30.154 tokens, and a size of ~430 MB.

<h3>Quick usage</h3>

from transformers import BertTokenizerFast, BertModel

tokenizer = BertTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("osiria/bert-base-italian-uncased")
model = BertModel.from_pretrained("osiria/bert-base-italian-uncased")
