# BERT Tagalog Base Cased
Tagalog version of BERT trained on a large preprocessed text corpus scraped and sourced from the internet. This model is part of a larger research project. We open-source the model to allow greater usage within the Filipino NLP community.

## Usage
The model can be loaded and used in both PyTorch and TensorFlow through the HuggingFace Transformers package.

```python

from transformers import TFAutoModel, AutoModel, AutoTokenizer



# TensorFlow

model = TFAutoModel.from_pretrained('jcblaise/bert-tagalog-base-cased', from_pt=True)

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('jcblaise/bert-tagalog-base-cased', do_lower_case=False)



# PyTorch

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('jcblaise/bert-tagalog-base-cased')

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('jcblaise/bert-tagalog-base-cased', do_lower_case=False)

```
Finetuning scripts and other utilities we use for our projects can be found in our centralized repository at https://github.com/jcblaisecruz02/Filipino-Text-Benchmarks
