# GPT-2 recycled for Italian (medium, adapted lexical embeddings)
[Wietse de Vries](https://www.semanticscholar.org/author/Wietse-de-Vries/144611157) •

## Model description

This model is based on the medium OpenAI GPT-2 ([`gpt2-medium`](https://huggingface.co/gpt2-medium)) model.

The Transformer layer weights in this model are identical to the original English, model but the lexical layer has been retrained for an Italian vocabulary.

For details, check out our paper on [arXiv](https://arxiv.org/abs/2012.05628) and the code on [Github](https://github.com/wietsedv/gpt2-recycle).
