A BERT pre-trained language model for an ancient greek language.

We used GreekBERT from @nlpaueb and fine-tuned it with the MLM objective on several corpora of ancient greek texts. Later, we used it to train several classifiers to assist an author and style attribution of a couple of recently discovered texts.

If you use the model, please cite the following:
