DistilBERT Tagalog Base Cased
Tagalog version of DistilBERT, distilled from bert-tagalog-base-cased. 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.
from transformers import TFAutoModel, AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
# TensorFlow
model = TFAutoModel.from_pretrained('jcblaise/distilbert-tagalog-base-cased', from_pt=True)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('jcblaise/distilbert-tagalog-base-cased', do_lower_case=False)
# PyTorch
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('jcblaise/distilbert-tagalog-base-cased')
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('jcblaise/distilbert-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
