# DictaBERT: A State-of-the-Art BERT Suite for Modern Hebrew

State-of-the-art language model for Hebrew, released [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.16687).

This is the fine-tuned model for the prefix segmentation task.  

For the bert-base models for other tasks, see [here](https://huggingface.co/collections/dicta-il/dictabert-6588e7cc08f83845fc42a18b).

Sample usage:

```python
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('dicta-il/dictabert-seg')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('dicta-il/dictabert-seg', trust_remote_code=True)

model.eval()

sentence = 'בשנת 1948 השלים אפרים קישון את לימודיו בפיסול מתכת ובתולדות האמנות והחל לפרסם מאמרים הומוריסטיים'
print(model.predict([sentence], tokenizer))
```

Output:
```json
[
	[
		[ "[CLS]" ],
		[ "ב","שנת" ],
		[ "1948" ],
		[ "השלים" ],
		[ "אפרים" ],
		[ "קישון" ],
		[ "את" ],
		[ "לימודיו" ],
		[ "ב","פיסול" ],
		[ "מתכת" ],
		[ "וב","תולדות" ],
		[ "ה","אמנות" ],
		[ "ו","החל" ],
		[ "לפרסם" ],
		[ "מאמרים" ],
		[ "הומוריסטיים" ],
		[ "[SEP]" ]
	]
]
```
