🤗 + 📚 dbmdz BERT models
In this repository the MDZ Digital Library team (dbmdz) at the Bavarian State Library open sources German Europeana BERT models 🎉
German Europeana BERT
We use the open source Europeana newspapers that were provided by The European Library. The final training corpus has a size of 51GB and consists of 8,035,986,369 tokens.
Detailed information about the data and pretraining steps can be found in this repository.
Model weights
Currently only PyTorch-Transformers compatible weights are available. If you need access to TensorFlow checkpoints, please raise an issue!

With Transformers >= 2.3 our German Europeana BERT models can be loaded like:
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dbmdz/bert-base-german-europeana-uncased")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("dbmdz/bert-base-german-europeana-uncased")
Huggingface model hub
All models are available on the Huggingface model hub.
