BERTimbau Large (aka "bert-large-portuguese-cased")

Introduction

BERTimbau Large is a pretrained BERT model for Brazilian Portuguese that achieves state-of-the-art performances on three downstream NLP tasks: Named Entity Recognition, Sentence Textual Similarity and Recognizing Textual Entailment. It is available in two sizes: Base and Large.

For further information or requests, please go to BERTimbau repository.

Available models

Model	Arch.	#Layers	#Params
neuralmind/bert-base-portuguese-cased	BERT-Base	12	110M
neuralmind/bert-large-portuguese-cased	BERT-Large	24	335M

Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer  # Or BertTokenizer
from transformers import AutoModelForPreTraining  # Or BertForPreTraining for loading pretraining heads
from transformers import AutoModel  # or BertModel, for BERT without pretraining heads

model = AutoModelForPreTraining.from_pretrained('neuralmind/bert-large-portuguese-cased')
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('neuralmind/bert-large-portuguese-cased', do_lower_case=False)

Masked language modeling prediction example

from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline('fill-mask', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

pipe('Tinha uma [MASK] no meio do caminho.')

For BERT embeddings

import torch

model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('neuralmind/bert-large-portuguese-cased')
input_ids = tokenizer.encode('Tinha uma pedra no meio do caminho.', return_tensors='pt')

with torch.no_grad():
    outs = model(input_ids)
    encoded = outs[0][0, 1:-1]  # Ignore [CLS] and [SEP] special tokens

# encoded.shape: (8, 1024)
# tensor([[ 1.1872,  0.5606, -0.2264,  ...,  0.0117, -0.1618, -0.2286],
