Model description

This is an uncased BERT [1] model for the Italian language, obtained using the uncased mBERT ([bert-base-multilingual-uncased](https://huggingface.co/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

```python from transformers import BertTokenizerFast, BertModel tokenizer = BertTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("osiria/bert-base-italian-uncased") model = BertModel.from_pretrained("osiria/bert-base-italian-uncased") ```
