# bert-base-romanian-cased-v1
The BERT **base**, **cased** model for Romanian, trained on a 15GB corpus, version ![v1.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/v1.0-21%20Apr%202020-ff6666)
### How to use
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
import torch
# load tokenizer and model
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dumitrescustefan/bert-base-romanian-cased-v1")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("dumitrescustefan/bert-base-romanian-cased-v1")
# tokenize a sentence and run through the model
input_ids = torch.tensor(tokenizer.encode("Acesta este un test.", add_special_tokens=True)).unsqueeze(0) # Batch size 1
outputs = model(input_ids)
# get encoding
last_hidden_states = outputs[0] # The last hidden-state is the first element of the output tuple
```
### Evaluation
Evaluation is performed on Universal Dependencies [Romanian RRT](https://universaldependencies.org/treebanks/ro_rrt/index.html) UPOS, XPOS and LAS, and on a NER task based on [RONEC](https://github.com/dumitrescustefan/ronec). Details, as well as more in-depth tests not shown here, are given in the dedicated [evaluation page](https://github.com/dumitrescustefan/Romanian-Transformers/tree/master/evaluation/README.md).
The baseline is the [Multilingual BERT](https://github.com/google-research/bert/blob/master/multilingual.md) model ``bert-base-multilingual-(un)cased``, as at the time of writing it was the only available BERT model that works on Romanian.
| Model | UPOS | XPOS | NER | LAS |
|--------------------------------|:-----:|:------:|:-----:|:-----:|
| bert-base-multilingual-cased | 97.87 | 96.16 | 84.13 | 88.04 |
| bert-base-romanian-cased-v1 | **98.00** | **96.46** | **85.88** | **89.69** |
### Corpus
The model is trained on the following corpora (stats in the table below are after cleaning):
| Corpus | Lines(M) | Words(M) | Chars(B) | Size(GB) |
|----------- |:--------: |:--------: |:--------: |:--------: |
| OPUS | 55.05 | 635.04 | 4.045 | 3.8 |
| OSCAR | 33.56 | 1725.82 | 11.411 | 11 |
| Wikipedia | 1.54 | 60.47 | 0.411 | 0.4 |
| **Total** | **90.15** | **2421.33** | **15.867** | **15.2** |
