# hmByT5 - Preliminary Language Models
|
| 13 |
+
|
| 14 |
+
Preliminary Historic Multilingual and Monolingual ByT5 Models. Following languages are currently covered:
|
| 15 |
+
|
| 16 |
+
* English (British Library Corpus - Books)
|
| 17 |
+
* German (Europeana Newspaper)
|
| 18 |
+
* French (Europeana Newspaper)
|
| 19 |
+
* Finnish (Europeana Newspaper)
|
| 20 |
+
* Swedish (Europeana Newspaper)
|
| 21 |
+
* Dutch (Delpher Corpus)
|
| 22 |
+
|
| 23 |
+
More details can be found in [our GitHub repository](https://github.com/stefan-it/hmByT5).
|
| 24 |
+
|
| 25 |
+
In this experiment we sample 4B bytes (~4GB of text) from each corpora (and upsample Swedish and Finnish).

# Pretraining
|
| 28 |
+
|
| 29 |
+
We use the official JAX/FLAX example in Hugging Face Transformers to pretrain a ByT5 model on a single v3-8 TPU.
|
| 30 |
+
Details about the training can be found [here](https://github.com/stefan-it/hmByT5/tree/main/hmbyt5-flax).

# Evaluation on Downstream Tasks (NER)
|
| 33 |
+
|
| 34 |
+
We evaluated the hmByT5 model on downstream tasks:
|
| 35 |
+
|
| 36 |
+
| Model | English AjMC | German AjMC | French AjMC | Finnish NewsEye | Swedish NewsEye | Dutch ICDAR | French ICDAR | Avg. |
