+# ALBERT Base v1
+Pretrained model on English language using a masked language modeling (MLM) objective. It was introduced in
+[this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1909.11942) and first released in
+[this repository](https://github.com/google-research/albert). This model, as all ALBERT models, is uncased: it does not make a difference
+between english and English.
+Disclaimer: The team releasing ALBERT did not write a model card for this model so this model card has been written by
+the Hugging Face team.
+## Model description
+ALBERT is a transformers model pretrained on a large corpus of English data in a self-supervised fashion. This means it
+was pretrained on the raw texts only, with no humans labelling them in any way (which is why it can use lots of
+publicly available data) with an automatic process to generate inputs and labels from those texts. More precisely, it
+was pretrained with two objectives:
+- Masked language modeling (MLM): taking a sentence, the model randomly masks 15% of the words in the input then run
+  the entire masked sentence through the model and has to predict the masked words. This is different from traditional
+  recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that usually see the words one after the other, or from autoregressive models like
+  GPT which internally mask the future tokens. It allows the model to learn a bidirectional representation of the
+  sentence.
+- Sentence Ordering Prediction (SOP): ALBERT uses a pretraining loss based on predicting the ordering of two consecutive segments of text.
+This way, the model learns an inner representation of the English language that can then be used to extract features
+useful for downstream tasks: if you have a dataset of labeled sentences for instance, you can train a standard
+classifier using the features produced by the ALBERT model as inputs.
+ALBERT is particular in that it shares its layers across its Transformer. Therefore, all layers have the same weights. Using repeating layers results in a small memory footprint, however, the computational cost remains similar to a BERT-like architecture with the same number of hidden layers as it has to iterate through the same number of (repeating) layers.
+This is the first version of the base model. Version 2 is different from version 1 due to different dropout rates, additional training data, and longer training. It has better results in nearly all downstream tasks.
+This model has the following configuration:
+- 12 repeating layers
+- 128 embedding dimension
+- 768 hidden dimension
+- 12 attention heads
+- 11M parameters
+## Intended uses & limitations
+You can use the raw model for either masked language modeling or next sentence prediction, but it's mostly intended to
+be fine-tuned on a downstream task. See the [model hub](https://huggingface.co/models?filter=albert) to look for
+fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you.
+Note that this model is primarily aimed at being fine-tuned on tasks that use the whole sentence (potentially masked)
+to make decisions, such as sequence classification, token classification or question answering. For tasks such as text
+generation you should look at model like GPT2.
+### How to use
+You can use this model directly with a pipeline for masked language modeling:
+```python
+>>> from transformers import pipeline
+>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='albert-base-v1')
+>>> unmasker("Hello I'm a [MASK] model.")
+[
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a modeling model.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.05816134437918663,
+      "token":12807,
+      "token_str":"▁modeling"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a modelling model.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.03748830780386925,
+      "token":23089,
+      "token_str":"▁modelling"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a model model.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.033725276589393616,
+      "token":1061,
+      "token_str":"▁model"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a runway model.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.017313428223133087,
+      "token":8014,
+      "token_str":"▁runway"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] hello i'm a lingerie model.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.014405295252799988,
+      "token":29104,
+      "token_str":"▁lingerie"
+   }
+]
+```
+Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:
+```python
+from transformers import AlbertTokenizer, AlbertModel
+tokenizer = AlbertTokenizer.from_pretrained('albert-base-v1')
+model = AlbertModel.from_pretrained("albert-base-v1")
+text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
+encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
+output = model(**encoded_input)
+```
+and in TensorFlow:
+```python
+from transformers import AlbertTokenizer, TFAlbertModel
+tokenizer = AlbertTokenizer.from_pretrained('albert-base-v1')
+model = TFAlbertModel.from_pretrained("albert-base-v1")
+text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
+encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf')
+output = model(encoded_input)
+```
+### Limitations and bias
+Even if the training data used for this model could be characterized as fairly neutral, this model can have biased
+predictions:
+```python
+>>> from transformers import pipeline
+>>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='albert-base-v1')
+>>> unmasker("The man worked as a [MASK].")
+[
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the man worked as a chauffeur.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.029577180743217468,
+      "token":28744,
+      "token_str":"▁chauffeur"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the man worked as a janitor.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.028865724802017212,
+      "token":29477,
+      "token_str":"▁janitor"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the man worked as a shoemaker.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.02581118606030941,
+      "token":29024,
+      "token_str":"▁shoemaker"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the man worked as a blacksmith.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.01849772222340107,
+      "token":21238,
+      "token_str":"▁blacksmith"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the man worked as a lawyer.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.01820771023631096,
+      "token":3672,
+      "token_str":"▁lawyer"
+   }
+]
+>>> unmasker("The woman worked as a [MASK].")
+[
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the woman worked as a receptionist.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.04604868218302727,
+      "token":25331,
+      "token_str":"▁receptionist"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the woman worked as a janitor.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.028220869600772858,
+      "token":29477,
+      "token_str":"▁janitor"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the woman worked as a paramedic.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.0261906236410141,
+      "token":23386,
+      "token_str":"▁paramedic"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the woman worked as a chauffeur.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.024797942489385605,
+      "token":28744,
+      "token_str":"▁chauffeur"
+   },
+   {
+      "sequence":"[CLS] the woman worked as a waitress.[SEP]",
+      "score":0.024124596267938614,
+      "token":13678,
+      "token_str":"▁waitress"
+   }
+]
+```
+This bias will also affect all fine-tuned versions of this model.
+## Training data
+The ALBERT model was pretrained on [BookCorpus](https://yknzhu.wixsite.com/mbweb), a dataset consisting of 11,038
+unpublished books and [English Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Wikipedia) (excluding lists, tables and
+headers).
+## Training procedure
+### Preprocessing
+The texts are lowercased and tokenized using SentencePiece and a vocabulary size of 30,000. The inputs of the model are
+then of the form:
+```
+[CLS] Sentence A [SEP] Sentence B [SEP]
+```
+### Training
+The ALBERT procedure follows the BERT setup.
+The details of the masking procedure for each sentence are the following:
+- 15% of the tokens are masked.
+- In 80% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by `[MASK]`.
+- In 10% of the cases, the masked tokens are replaced by a random token (different) from the one they replace.
+- In the 10% remaining cases, the masked tokens are left as is.
