NorBERT was trained as a part of NorLM, a joint initiative of the projects EOSC-Nordic (European Open Science Cloud), coordinated by the Language Technology Group (LTG) at the University of Oslo.
The computations were performed on resources provided by UNINETT Sigma2 - the National Infrastructure for High Performance Computing and Data Storage in Norway.
