Overview

The HerBERT model was proposed in KLEJ: Comprehensive Benchmark for Polish Language Understanding by Piotr Rybak, Robert Mroczkowski, Janusz Tracz, and Ireneusz Gawlik. It is a BERT-based Language Model trained on Polish Corpora using only MLM objective with dynamic masking of whole words.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

In recent years, a series of Transformer-based models unlocked major improvements in general natural language understanding (NLU) tasks. Such a fast pace of research would not be possible without general NLU benchmarks, which allow for a fair comparison of the proposed methods. However, such benchmarks are available only for a handful of languages. To alleviate this issue, we introduce a comprehensive multi-task benchmark for the Polish language understanding, accompanied by an online leaderboard. It consists of a diverse set of tasks, adopted from existing datasets for named entity recognition, question-answering, textual entailment, and others. We also introduce a new sentiment analysis task for the e-commerce domain, named Allegro Reviews (AR). To ensure a common evaluation scheme and promote models that generalize to different NLU tasks, the benchmark includes datasets from varying domains and applications. Additionally, we release HerBERT, a Transformer-based model trained specifically for the Polish language, which has the best average performance and obtains the best results for three out of nine tasks. Finally, we provide an extensive evaluation, including several standard baselines and recently proposed, multilingual Transformer-based models.

This model was contributed by rmroczkowski. The original code can be found here.

Usage example

python
from transformers import HerbertTokenizer, RobertaModel


tokenizer = HerbertTokenizer.from_pretrained("allegro/herbert-klej-cased-tokenizer-v1")
model = RobertaModel.from_pretrained("allegro/herbert-klej-cased-v1", device_map="auto")

encoded_input = tokenizer.encode("Kto ma lepszą sztukę, ma lepszy rząd – to jasne.", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
outputs = model(encoded_input)

# HerBERT can also be loaded using AutoTokenizer and AutoModel:
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer


tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("allegro/herbert-klej-cased-tokenizer-v1")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("allegro/herbert-klej-cased-v1", device_map="auto")
<Tip>

Herbert implementation is the same as BERT except for the tokenization method. Refer to BERT documentation for API reference and examples.
