German-English Code-Switching BERT

A BERT-based model trained with masked language modelling on a large corpus of German--English code-switching. It was introduced in this paper. This model is case sensitive.

Overview

  • Initialized language model: bert-base-multilingual-cased
  • Training data: The TongueSwitcher Corpus
  • Infrastructure: 4x Nvidia A100 GPUs
  • Published: 16 October 2023

Performance

During training we monitored the evaluation loss on the TongueSwitcher dev set.
