Model name

SingBert Lite - Bert for Singlish (SG) and Manglish (MY).

Model description

Similar to SingBert but the lite-version, which was initialized from Albert base v2, with pre-training finetuned on singlish and manglish data.

Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:

from transformers import AlbertTokenizer, AlbertModel
tokenizer = AlbertTokenizer.from_pretrained('zanelim/singbert-lite-sg')
model = AlbertModel.from_pretrained("zanelim/singbert-lite-sg")
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
output = model(**encoded_input)

and in TensorFlow:

from transformers import AlbertTokenizer, TFAlbertModel
tokenizer = AlbertTokenizer.from_pretrained("zanelim/singbert-lite-sg")
model = TFAlbertModel.from_pretrained("zanelim/singbert-lite-sg")
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf')
output = model(encoded_input)

Limitations and bias

This model was finetuned on colloquial Singlish and Manglish corpus, hence it is best applied on downstream tasks involving the main constituent languages- english, mandarin, malay. Also, as the training data is mainly from forums, beware of existing inherent bias.

Training data

Colloquial singlish and manglish (both are a mixture of English, Mandarin, Tamil, Malay, and other local dialects like Hokkien, Cantonese or Teochew) corpus. The corpus is collected from subreddits- r/singapore and r/malaysia, and forums such as hardwarezone.

Training procedure

Initialized with albert base v2 vocab and checkpoints (pre-trained weights).

Pre-training was further finetuned on training data with the following hyperparameters

  • train_batch_size: 4096
  • max_seq_length: 128
  • num_train_steps: 125000
  • num_warmup_steps: 5000
  • learning_rate: 0.00176
  • hardware: TPU v3-8
