BERTimbau-large-text-filter

📣 UPDATE: If you like/use Tucanos or GigaVerbo for anything, know that version 2 is already out. Go to our new organization (Polyglot) to check out all the improvements the Tucano 2 series brings!

BERTimbau-large-text-filter is a BERT model that can be used to score the quality of a given Portuguese text string. This model was trained on the GigaVerbo-Text-Filter dataset.

Details

• Size: 334,398,466 parameters
• Dataset: GigaVerbo-Text-Filter
• Language: Portuguese
• Number of Training Epochs: 3
• Batch size: 128
• Optimizer: torch.optim.AdamW
• Learning Rate: 4e-5

This repository has the source code used to train this model.

Usage

Here's an example of how to use the BERTimbau-large-text-filter:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification
from transformers import TextClassificationPipeline
import torch

device = torch.device("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("TucanoBR/BERTimbau-large-text-filter")
model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("TucanoBR/BERTimbau-large-text-filter")
model.to(device)

classifier = TextClassificationPipeline(model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, device=device)
result = classifier("Os tucanos são aves que correspondem à família Ramphastidae, vivem nas florestas tropicais da América Central e América do Sul. A família inclui cinco gêneros e mais de quarenta espécies diferentes. Possuem bicos notavelmente grandes e coloridos, que possuem a função de termorregulação para as muitas espécies que passam muito tempo na copa da floresta exposta ao sol tropical quente.")
