# Additional pretrained BERT base Japanese finance 

This is a [BERT](https://github.com/google-research/bert) model pretrained on texts in the Japanese language.

The codes for the pretraining are available at [retarfi/language-pretraining](https://github.com/retarfi/language-pretraining/tree/v1.0).

## Model architecture

The model architecture is the same as BERT small in the [original BERT paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.04805); 12 layers, 768 dimensions of hidden states, and 12 attention heads.

## Training Data

The models are additionally trained on financial corpus from [Tohoku University's BERT base Japanese model (cl-tohoku/bert-base-japanese)](https://huggingface.co/cl-tohoku/bert-base-japanese).

The financial corpus consists of 2 corpora:

- Summaries of financial results from October 9, 2012, to December 31, 2020
- Securities reports from February 8, 2018, to December 31, 2020

The financial corpus file consists of approximately 27M sentences.


## Tokenization

You can use tokenizer [Tohoku University's BERT base Japanese model (cl-tohoku/bert-base-japanese)](https://huggingface.co/cl-tohoku/bert-base-japanese).

You can use the tokenizer:

```
tokenizer = transformers.BertJapaneseTokenizer.from_pretrained('cl-tohoku/bert-base-japanese')
```

## Training

The models are trained with the same configuration as BERT base in the [original BERT paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1810.04805); 512 tokens per instance, 256 instances per batch, and 1M training steps.
