What is bert-base-romanian-cased-v1?
bert-base-romanian-cased-v1 is a BERT-based language model specifically trained for the Romanian language. Built on a massive 15GB corpus comprising OPUS, OSCAR, and Wikipedia data, this model represents a significant advancement in Romanian natural language processing, outperforming multilingual BERT across multiple tasks.
Implementation Details
The model was trained on a carefully curated dataset consisting of 55.05M lines from OPUS, 33.56M lines from OSCAR, and 1.54M lines from Wikipedia. It implements the BERT base architecture with case-sensitive tokenization and requires specific text sanitization for optimal performance.
- Requires comma-letter replacement for Romanian characters (ț, ș instead of ţ, ş)
- Accessible through HuggingFace's transformers library
- Demonstrates superior performance compared to multilingual BERT
