# CAMeLBERT-MSA POS-GLF Model
## Model description
**CAMeLBERT-MSA POS-GLF Model** is a Gulf Arabic POS tagging model that was built by fine-tuning the [CAMeLBERT-MSA](https://huggingface.co/CAMeL-Lab/bert-base-arabic-camelbert-msa/) model.
For the fine-tuning, we used the [Gumar](https://camel.abudhabi.nyu.edu/annotated-gumar-corpus/) dataset.
Our fine-tuning procedure and the hyperparameters we used can be found in our paper *"[The Interplay of Variant, Size, and Task Type in Arabic Pre-trained Language Models](https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.06678)."*
Our fine-tuning code can be found [here](https://github.com/CAMeL-Lab/CAMeLBERT).
## Intended uses
You can use the CAMeLBERT-MSA POS-GLF model as part of the transformers pipeline.
This model will also be available in [CAMeL Tools](https://github.com/CAMeL-Lab/camel_tools) soon.
#### How to use
To use the model with a transformers pipeline:
```python
>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> pos = pipeline('token-classification', model='CAMeL-Lab/bert-base-arabic-camelbert-msa-pos-glf')
>>> text = 'شلونك ؟ شخبارك ؟'
>>> pos(text)
[{'entity': 'adv_interrog', 'score': 0.5622676, 'index': 1, 'word': 'شلون', 'start': 0, 'end': 4}, {'entity': 'prep', 'score': 0.99969727, 'index': 2, 'word': '##ك', 'start': 4, 'end': 5}, {'entity': 'punc', 'score': 0.9999299, 'index': 3, 'word': '؟', 'start': 6, 'end': 7}, {'entity': 'noun', 'score': 0.9843815, 'index': 4, 'word': 'ش', 'start': 8, 'end': 9}, {'entity': 'noun', 'score': 0.9998467, 'index': 5, 'word': '##خبار', 'start': 9, 'end': 13}, {'entity': 'prep', 'score': 0.9993611, 'index': 6, 'word': '##ك', 'start': 13, 'end': 14}, {'entity': 'punc', 'score': 0.99993765, 'index': 7, 'word': '؟', 'start': 15, 'end': 16}]
```
*Note*: to download our models, you would need `transformers>=3.5.0`.
Otherwise, you could download the models manually.

abstract = "In this paper, we explore the effects of language variants, data sizes, and fine-tuning task types in Arabic pre-trained language models. To do so, we build three pre-trained language models across three variants of Arabic: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), dialectal Arabic, and classical Arabic, in addition to a fourth language model which is pre-trained on a mix of the three. We also examine the importance of pre-training data size by building additional models that are pre-trained on a scaled-down set of the MSA variant. We compare our different models to each other, as well as to eight publicly available models by fine-tuning them on five NLP tasks spanning 12 datasets. Our results suggest that the variant proximity of pre-training data to fine-tuning data is more important than the pre-training data size. We exploit this insight in defining an optimized system selection model for the studied tasks.",
