HerBERT

HerBERT is a series of BERT-based language models trained for Polish language understanding.

All three HerBERT models are summarized below:

Full KLEJ Benchmark leaderboard is available here.

Usage

Example of how to load the model:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

model_names = {
    "herbert-klej-cased-v1": {
        "tokenizer": "allegro/herbert-klej-cased-tokenizer-v1", 
        "model": "allegro/herbert-klej-cased-v1",
    },
    "herbert-base-cased": {
        "tokenizer": "allegro/herbert-base-cased", 
        "model": "allegro/herbert-base-cased",
    },
    "herbert-large-cased": {
        "tokenizer": "allegro/herbert-large-cased", 
        "model": "allegro/herbert-large-cased",
    },
}

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_names["allegro/herbert-base-cased"]["tokenizer"])
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained(model_names["allegro/herbert-base-cased"]["model"])

And how to use the model:

output = model(
    **tokenizer.batch_encode_plus(
        [
            (
                "A potem szedł środkiem drogi w kurzawie, bo zamiatał nogami, ślepy dziad prowadzony przez tłustego kundla na sznurku.",
                "A potem leciał od lasu chłopak z butelką, ale ten ujrzawszy księdza przy drodze okrążył go z dala i biegł na przełaj pól do karczmy."
            )
        ],
        padding="longest",
        add_special_tokens=True,
        return_tensors="pt",
    )
)
