CZERT

This repository keeps trained Czert-B model for the paper Czert – Czech BERT-like Model for Language Representation For more information, see the paper

Available Models

You can download MLM & NSP only pretrained models CZERT-A-v1 CZERT-B-v1

After some additional experiments, we found out that the tokenizers config was exported wrongly. In Czert-B-v1, the tokenizer parameter "do_lower_case" was wrongly set to true. In Czert-A-v1 the parameter "strip_accents" was incorrectly set to true.

Both mistakes are repaired in v2. CZERT-A-v2 CZERT-B-v2

How to Use CZERT?

Sentence Level Tasks

We evaluate our model on two sentence level tasks:

• Sentiment Classification,
• Semantic Text Similarity.

\t

Document Level Tasks

We evaluate our model on one document level task

• Multi-label Document Classification.

Token Level Tasks

We evaluate our model on three token level tasks:

• Named Entity Recognition,
• Morphological Tagging,
• Semantic Role Labelling.
