Model description
This is an uncased BERT [1] model for the Italian language, obtained using the uncased mBERT (bert-base-multilingual-uncased) as a starting point and focusing it on the Italian language by modifying the embedding layer (as in [2], computing document-level frequencies over the Wikipedia dataset)
The resulting model has 110M parameters, a vocabulary of 30.785 tokens, and a size of ~430 MB.
Quick usage
from transformers import BertTokenizerFast, BertModel
tokenizer = BertTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("osiria/bert-base-italian-uncased")
model = BertModel.from_pretrained("osiria/bert-base-italian-uncased")
