Model Details

TookaBERT models are a family of encoder models trained on Persian in two sizes base and large. These Models pre-trained on over 500GB of Persian data including a variety of topics such as News, Blogs, Forums, Books, etc. They pre-trained with the MLM (WWM) objective using two context lengths. TookaBERT-Large is the first large encoder model pre-trained on Persian and currently is the state-of-the-art model in Persian tasks.

How to use

You can use this model directly for Masked Language Modeling using the provided code below.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("PartAI/TookaBERT-Large")
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("PartAI/TookaBERT-Large")

# prepare input
text = "شهر برلین در کشور <mask> واقع شده است."
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')

# forward pass
output = model(**encoded_input)

It is also possible to use inference pipelines such as below.

from transformers import pipeline

inference_pipeline = pipeline('fill-mask', model="PartAI/TookaBERT-Large")
inference_pipeline("شهر برلین در کشور <mask> واقع شده است.")

You can use this model to fine-tune it over your dataset and prepare it for your task.

• DeepSentiPers (Sentiment Analysis)
• ParsiNLU - Multiple-choice (Multiple-choice)

Evaluation

TookaBERT models are evaluated on a wide range of NLP downstream tasks, such as Sentiment Analysis (SA), Text Classification, Multiple-choice, Question Answering, and Named Entity Recognition (NER). Here are some key performance results:

*Note because of the randomness in the fine-tuning process, results with less than 1% differences are considered together.
