BART-Ca: The monolingual Catalan BART

Model description
BART-ca is a transformer-based language model for the Catalan language and has been trained on a medium-size corpus collected from publicly available corpora and crawlers with the Catalan Textual Corpus.
Intended uses and limitations
You can use the raw model for text infilling. However, the model is mostly meant to be fine-tuned on a supervised dataset. BART is particularly effective when fine-tuned for text generation (e.g. summarization, translation) but also works well for comprehension tasks (e.g. text classification, question answering).
How to use
Here is how to use this model in PyTorch:
from transformers import BartTokenizer, BartModel
tokenizer = BartTokenizer.from_pretrained('projecte-aina/bart-base-ca')
model = BartModel.from_pretrained('projecte-aina/bart-base-ca')
inputs = tokenizer("Hola, el meu gos és molt bonic", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
last_hidden_states = outputs.last_hidden_state
Limitations and bias
At the time of submission, no measures have been taken to estimate the bias embedded in the model. However, we are well aware that our models may be biased since the corpora have been collected using crawling techniques on multiple web sources. We intend to conduct research in these areas in the future, and if completed, this model card will be updated.
Training
Training data
As training data, we used the Catalan Textual Corpus, a 1760-million-token web corpus of Catalan built from several sources.
Training procedure
Tokenization
The training corpus has been tokenized using a byte version of Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE) with a vocabulary size of 51,200 tokens.
Hyperparameters
The hyperparameters were adapted for fairseq from the original BART's paper.
