**Deprecation Notice**  
This model is deprecated. New Filipino Transformer models trained with a much larger corpora are available.  
Use [`jcblaise/roberta-tagalog-base`](https://huggingface.co/jcblaise/roberta-tagalog-base) or [`jcblaise/roberta-tagalog-large`](https://huggingface.co/jcblaise/roberta-tagalog-large) instead for better performance.

# ELECTRA Tagalog Small Uncased Discriminator
Tagalog ELECTRA model pretrained with a large corpus scraped 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.

This is the discriminator model, which is the main Transformer used for finetuning to downstream tasks. For generation, mask-filling, and retraining, refer to the Generator models.
