What is bert-base-swedish-cased-new?
This is a Swedish language BERT model developed by KBLab, specifically designed for Swedish natural language processing tasks. Built on the traditional BERT-base architecture, it has been trained on approximately 70GB of Swedish text data, primarily sourced from OSCAR and Swedish newspaper content curated by the National Library of Sweden.
Implementation Details
The model follows the BERT-base architecture with 110M parameters and implements an innovative training approach for handling document lengths. Documents shorter than 512 tokens are concatenated into single sequences, while longer documents are split into multiple 512-token sequences. The training process extended over 8 epochs with a substantial batch size of 2048, completing nearly 125,000 training steps.
