# BERT for Galician (Small)

This is a small pre-trained BERT model for Galician (6 layers, cased). It was evaluated on lexical semantics tasks, using a [dataset to identify homonymy and synonymy in context](https://github.com/marcospln/homonymy_acl21), and presented at ACL 2021.

There is also a base version (12 layers, cased): `marcosgg/bert-base-gl-cased`
