<h3>Model description</h3>

This is a <b>DeBERTa</b> <b>[1]</b> model for the <b>Italian</b> language, obtained using <b>mDeBERTa</b> (mdeberta-v3-base) 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 124M parameters, a vocabulary of 50.256 tokens, and a size of ~500 MB.

<h3>Quick usage</h3>

from transformers import DebertaV2TokenizerFast, DebertaV2Model

tokenizer = DebertaV2TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("osiria/deberta-base-italian")
model = DebertaV2Model.from_pretrained("osiria/deberta-base-italian")
