| # RoBERTa-base-bulgarian | |
| The RoBERTa model was originally introduced in [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11692). This is a version of [RoBERTa-base](https://huggingface.co/roberta-base) pretrained on Bulgarian text. | |
| ## Intended uses | |
| This model can be used for cloze tasks (masked language modeling) or finetuned on other tasks in Bulgarian. | |
| ## Limitations and bias | |
| The training data is unfiltered text from the internet and may contain all sorts of biases. | |
| ## Training data | |
| This model was trained on the following data: | |
| - [bg_dedup from OSCAR](https://oscar-corpus.com/) | |
| - [Newscrawl 1 million sentences 2017 from Leipzig Corpora Collection](https://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/en/download/bulgarian) | |
| - [Wikipedia 1 million sentences 2016 from Leipzig Corpora Collection](https://wortschatz.uni-leipzig.de/en/download/bulgarian) | |
| ## Training procedure | |
| The model was pretrained using a masked language-modeling objective with dynamic masking as described [here](https://huggingface.co/roberta-base#preprocessing) | |
| It was trained for 200k steps. The batch size was limited to 8 due to GPU memory limitations. | |
