# GeBERTa
<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->
GeBERTa is a set of German DeBERTa models developed in a joint effort between the University of Florida, NVIDIA, and IKIM.
The models range in size from 122M to 750M parameters.
## Model details
The models follow the architecture of DeBERTa-v2 and make use of sentence piece tokenizers. The base and large models use a 50k token vocabulary,
while the large model uses a 128k token vocabulary. All models were trained with a batch size of 2k for a maximum of 1 million steps
and have a maximum sequence length of 512 tokens.
## Dataset
The pre-training dataset consists of documents from different domains:

## Benchmark
In a comprehensive benchmark, we evaluated existing German models and our own. The benchmark included a variety of task types, such as question answering,
classification, and named entity recognition (NER). In addition, we introduced a new task focused on hate speech detection using two existing datasets.
When the datasets provided training, development, and test sets, we used them accordingly.
We randomly split the data into 80% for training, 10% for validation, and 10% for test in cases where such sets were not available.
