Model: RoBERTa
Lang: IT
Model description
This is a RoBERTa [1] model for the Italian language, obtained using XLM-RoBERTa [2] (xlm-roberta-base) as a starting point and focusing it on the italian language by modifying the embedding layer (as in [3], computing document-level frequencies over the Wikipedia dataset)
The resulting model has 125M parameters, a vocabulary of 50.670 tokens, and a size of ~500 MB.
Quick usage
from transformers import RobertaTokenizerFast, RobertaModel
tokenizer = RobertaTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("osiria/roberta-base-italian")
model = RobertaModel.from_pretrained("osiria/roberta-base-italian")
