# dv-muril |
|
|
|
This is an experiment in transfer learning, to insert Dhivehi word and |
|
word-piece tokens into Google's MuRIL model. |
|
|
|
This BERT-based model currently performs better than dv-wave ELECTRA on |
|
the Maldivian News Classification task https://github.com/Sofwath/DhivehiDatasets |
|
|
|
## Training |
|
|
|
- Start with MuRIL (similar to mBERT) with no Thaana vocabulary |
|
- Based on PanLex dictionaries, attach 1,100 Dhivehi words to Malayalam or English embeddings |
|
- Add remaining words and word-pieces from dv-wave to vocab.txt |
|
- Continue BERT pretraining on a TPU |
