CZERT

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

This is long version of Czert-B-base-cased created without any finetunning on long documents. Positional embedings were created by simply repeating the positional embeddings of the original Czert-B model. For tokenization, please use BertTokenizer. Cannot be used with AutoTokenizer.

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.

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.

This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
