BERiT is a masked-language model for Biblical Hebrew, a low-resource ancient language preserved primarily in the text of the Hebrew Bible. Building on the work of [Sennrich and Zhang (2019)](https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.11901) and [Wdowiak (2021)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.01938) on low-resource machine translation, it employs a modified version of the encoder block from Wdowiak’s Seq2Seq model. Accordingly, BERiT is much smaller than models designed for modern languages like English. It features a single attention block with four attention heads, smaller embedding and feedforward dimensions (256 and 1024), a smaller max input length (128), and an aggressive dropout rate (.5) at both the attention and feedforward layers.
