|
## Example usage |
|
|
|
This model currently needs a custom wrapper from `modeling_ltgbert.py`. Then you can use it like this: |
|
|
|
```python |
|
import torch |
|
from transformers import AutoTokenizer |
|
from modeling_ltgbert import LtgBertForMaskedLM |
|
|
|
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("path/to/folder") |
|
bert = LtgBertForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("path/to/folder") |
|
``` |
|
|

abstract = "While modern masked language models (LMs) are trained on ever larger corpora, we here explore the effects of down-scaling training to a modestly-sized but representative, well-balanced, and publicly available English text source {--} the British National Corpus. We show that pre-training on this carefully curated corpus can reach better performance than the original BERT model. We argue that this type of corpora has great potential as a language modeling benchmark. To showcase this potential, we present fair, reproducible and data-efficient comparative studies of LMs, in which we evaluate several training objectives and model architectures and replicate previous empirical results in a systematic way. We propose an optimized LM architecture called LTG-BERT.", |
