When using BEREL 2.0, please reference:

Usage:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, BertForMaskedLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('dicta-il/BEREL_2.0')
model = BertForMaskedLM.from_pretrained('dicta-il/BEREL_2.0')

# for evaluation, disable dropout
model.eval()

NOTE: This code will not work and provide bad results if you use BertTokenizer. Please use AutoTokenizer or BertTokenizerFast.

Demo site: You can experiment with the model in a GUI interface here: https://dicta-bert-demo.netlify.app/?genre=rabbinic

The main part of the GUI consists of word buttons visualizing the tokenization of the sentences. Clicking on a button masks it, and then three BEREL word predictions are shown. Clicking on that bubble expands it to 10 predictions; alternatively, ctrl-clicking on that initial bubble expands to 30 predictions.
Ctrl-clicking adjacent word buttons combines them into a single token for the mask.
The edit box on top contains the input sentence; this can be modified at will, and the word-buttons will adjust as relevant.
