# BERT small 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 ELECTRA paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.10555); 12 layers, 256 dimensions of hidden states, and 4 attention heads.
## Training Data
The models are trained on Wikipedia corpus and financial corpus.
The Wikipedia corpus is generated from the Japanese Wikipedia dump file as of June 1, 2021.
The corpus file is 2.9GB, consisting of approximately 20M sentences.
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 is 5.2GB, consisting of approximately 27M sentences.
## Tokenization
The texts are first tokenized by MeCab with IPA dictionary and then split into subwords by the WordPiece algorithm.
The vocabulary size is 32768.
## Training
The models are trained with the same configuration as BERT small in the [original ELECTRA paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.10555); 128 tokens per instance, 128 instances per batch, and 1.45M training steps.
