🤗 + 📚 dbmdz Distilled Turkish BERT model
In this repository the MDZ Digital Library team (dbmdz) at the Bavarian State Library open sources a (cased) distilled model for Turkish 🎉
🇹🇷 DistilBERTurk
DistilBERTurk is a community-driven cased distilled BERT model for Turkish.
DistilBERTurk was trained on 7GB of the original training data that was used for training BERTurk, using the cased version of BERTurk as teacher model.
DistilBERTurk was trained with the official Hugging Face implementation from here for 5 days on 4 RTX 2080 TI.
More details about distillation can be found in the "DistilBERT, a distilled version of BERT: smaller, faster, cheaper and lighter" paper by Sanh et al. (2019).
Model weights
Currently only PyTorch-Transformers compatible weights are available. If you need access to TensorFlow checkpoints, please raise an issue in the BERTurk repository!

Usage
With Transformers >= 2.3 our DistilBERTurk model can be loaded like:
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dbmdz/distilbert-base-turkish-cased")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("dbmdz/distilbert-base-turkish-cased")
Results
For results on PoS tagging or NER tasks, please refer to this repository.
For PoS tagging, DistilBERTurk outperforms the 24-layer XLM-RoBERTa model.
The overall performance difference between DistilBERTurk and the original (teacher) BERTurk model is ~1.18%.
Huggingface model hub
All models are available on the Huggingface model hub.
