| # MorrBERT | |
| MorrBERT is a Transformer-based Language Model designed specifically for the Moroccan Dialect. | |
| Developed by Moussaoui Otman and El Younoussi Yacine. | |
| ## About MorrBERT | |
| MorrBERT, specifically tailored for the Moroccan dialect, is structured identically to BERTBASE. The training process took approximately 120 hours to complete 12 epochs using the entire training set. A massive corpus of six million Moroccan dialect sentences, totaling 71 billion tokens, was utilized to train this model. | |

| ## Usage | |
| The model weights can be loaded using transformers library by HuggingFace. | |
| from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel | |
| tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("otmangi/MorrBERT") | |
| model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("otmangi/MorrBERT") | |
