German ELECTRA large generator

Released, Oct 2020, this is the generator component of the German ELECTRA language model trained collaboratively by the makers of the original German BERT (aka "bert-base-german-cased") and the dbmdz BERT (aka bert-base-german-dbmdz-cased). In our paper, we outline the steps taken to train our model.

The generator is useful for performing masking experiments. If you are looking for a regular language model for embedding extraction, or downstream tasks like NER, classification or QA, please use deepset/gelectra-large.
