# QARiB: QCRI Arabic and Dialectal BERT
## About QARiB
QCRI Arabic and Dialectal BERT (QARiB) model, was trained on a collection of ~ 420 Million tweets and ~ 180 Million sentences of text.
For tweets, the data was collected using twitter API and using language filter. `lang:ar`. For text data, it was a combination from
[Arabic GigaWord](url), [Abulkhair Arabic Corpus]() and [OPUS](http://opus.nlpl.eu/).
### bert-base-qarib60_860k
- Data size: 60Gb
- Number of Iterations: 860k
- Loss: 2.2454472
## Training QARiB
The training of the model has been performed using Google’s original Tensorflow code on Google Cloud TPU v2.
We used a Google Cloud Storage bucket, for persistent storage of training data and models.
See more details in [Training QARiB](https://github.com/qcri/QARiB/blob/main/Training_QARiB.md)
## Using QARiB
You can use the raw model for either masked language modeling or next sentence prediction, but it's mostly intended to be fine-tuned on a downstream task. See the model hub to look for fine-tuned versions on a task that interests you. For more details, see [Using QARiB](https://github.com/qcri/QARiB/blob/main/Using_QARiB.md)
### How to use
You can use this model directly with a pipeline for masked language modeling:
```python
>>>from transformers import pipeline
>>>fill_mask = pipeline("fill-mask", model="./models/data60gb_86k")
>>> fill_mask("شو عندكم يا [MASK]")
[{'sequence': '[CLS] شو عندكم يا عرب [SEP]', 'score': 0.0990147516131401, 'token': 2355, 'token_str': 'عرب'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] شو عندكم يا جماعة [SEP]', 'score': 0.051633741706609726, 'token': 2308, 'token_str': 'جماعة'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] شو عندكم يا شباب [SEP]', 'score': 0.046871256083250046, 'token': 939, 'token_str': 'شباب'},

{'sequence': '[CLS] شو عندكم يا ناس [SEP]', 'score': 0.031996358186006546, 'token': 271, 'token_str': 'ناس'}]
>>> fill_mask("قللي وشفيييك يرحم [MASK]")
[{'sequence': '[CLS] قللي وشفيييك يرحم والديك [SEP]', 'score': 0.4152909517288208, 'token': 9650, 'token_str': 'والديك'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] قللي وشفيييك يرحملي [SEP]', 'score': 0.07663793861865997, 'token': 294, 'token_str': '##لي'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] قللي وشفيييك يرحم حالك [SEP]', 'score': 0.0453166700899601, 'token': 2663, 'token_str': 'حالك'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] قللي وشفيييك يرحم امك [SEP]', 'score': 0.04390475153923035, 'token': 1942, 'token_str': 'امك'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] قللي وشفيييك يرحمونك [SEP]', 'score': 0.027349254116415977, 'token': 3283, 'token_str': '##ونك'}]
>>> fill_mask("وقام المدير [MASK]")
[
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقام المدير بالعمل [SEP]', 'score': 0.0678194984793663, 'token': 4230, 'token_str': 'بالعمل'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقام المدير بذلك [SEP]', 'score': 0.05191086605191231, 'token': 984, 'token_str': 'بذلك'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقام المدير بالاتصال [SEP]', 'score': 0.045264165848493576, 'token': 26096, 'token_str': 'بالاتصال'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقام المدير بعمله [SEP]', 'score': 0.03732728958129883, 'token': 40486, 'token_str': 'بعمله'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقام المدير بالامر [SEP]', 'score': 0.0246378555893898, 'token': 29124, 'token_str': 'بالامر'}
]
>>> fill_mask("وقامت المديرة [MASK]")
[{'sequence': '[CLS] وقامت المديرة بذلك [SEP]', 'score': 0.23992691934108734, 'token': 984, 'token_str': 'بذلك'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقامت المديرة بالامر [SEP]', 'score': 0.108805812895298, 'token': 29124, 'token_str': 'بالامر'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقامت المديرة بالعمل [SEP]', 'score': 0.06639821827411652, 'token': 4230, 'token_str': 'بالعمل'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقامت المديرة بالاتصال [SEP]', 'score': 0.05613093823194504, 'token': 26096, 'token_str': 'بالاتصال'},
{'sequence': '[CLS] وقامت المديرة المديرة [SEP]', 'score': 0.021778125315904617, 'token': 41635, 'token_str': 'المديرة'}]
```
## Training procedure
The training of the model has been performed using Google’s original Tensorflow code on eight core Google Cloud TPU v2.
We used a Google Cloud Storage bucket, for persistent storage of training data and models.
## Eval results
We evaluated QARiB models on five NLP downstream task:
- Sentiment Analysis
- Emotion Detection
- Named-Entity Recognition (NER)
- Offensive Language Detection
- Dialect Identification
The results obtained from QARiB models outperforms multilingual BERT/AraBERT/ArabicBERT.
