# Historical Swedish Bert Model

A historical Swedish Bert model is released from the National Swedish Archives to better generalise to Swedish historical text. Researches are well-aware that the Swedish language has been subject to change over time which means that present-day point-of-view models less ideal candidates for the job. 
However, this model can be used to interpret and analyse historical textual material and be fine-tuned for different downstream tasks.
