# 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
