distilbert-base-25lang-cased

We are sharing smaller versions of distilbert-base-multilingual-cased that handle a custom number of languages.

Our versions give exactly the same representations produced by the original model which preserves the original accuracy.

Handled languages: en, fr, es, de, zh, ar, ru, vi, el, bg, th, tr, hi, ur, sw, nl, uk, ro, pt, it, lt, no, pl, da and ja.

For more information please visit our paper: Load What You Need: Smaller Versions of Multilingual BERT.

How to use

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Geotrend/distilbert-base-25lang-cased")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("Geotrend/distilbert-base-25lang-cased")

To generate other smaller versions of multilingual transformers please visit our Github repo.
