# Dialect-AR-GPT-2021
## Finetuned AraGPT-2 demo
This model started with [AraGPT2-Medium](https://huggingface.co/aubmindlab/aragpt2-medium),
from AUB MIND Lab.
This model was then finetuned on dialect datasets from Qatar University, University of British Columbia / NLP,
and Johns Hopkins University / LREC for 10 epochs.
You can use special tokens to prompt five dialects: `[EGYPTIAN]`, `[GULF]`, `[LEVANTINE]`, `[MAGHREBI]`, or `[MSA]`, followed by a space.
```
from simpletransformers.language_generation import LanguageGenerationModel
model = LanguageGenerationModel("gpt2", "monsoon-nlp/dialect-ar-gpt-2021")
model.generate('[GULF] ' + "مدينتي هي", { 'max_length': 100 })
```
There is NO content filtering in the current version; do not use for public-facing
text generation!
## Training and Finetuning details
Original model: https://huggingface.co/aubmindlab/aragpt2-medium
I inserted new tokens into the tokenizer, finetuned the model on the dialect samples, and exported the new model.
