CAMeLBERT-Mix POS-GLF Model

Model description

CAMeLBERT-Mix POS-GLF Model is a Gulf Arabic POS tagging model that was built by fine-tuning the CAMeLBERT-Mix model. For the fine-tuning, we used the Gumar dataset . Our fine-tuning procedure and the hyperparameters we used can be found in our paper "The Interplay of Variant, Size, and Task Type in Arabic Pre-trained Language Models." Our fine-tuning code can be found here.

Intended uses

You can use the CAMeLBERT-Mix POS-GLF model as part of the transformers pipeline. This model will also be available in CAMeL Tools soon.

How to use

To use the model with a transformers pipeline:

>>> from transformers import pipeline
>>> pos = pipeline('token-classification', model='CAMeL-Lab/bert-base-arabic-camelbert-mix-pos-glf')
>>> text = 'شلونك ؟ شخبارك ؟'
>>> pos(text)
[{'entity': 'pron_interrog', 'score': 0.82657206, 'index': 1, 'word': 'شلون', 'start': 0, 'end': 4}, {'entity': 'prep', 'score': 0.9771731, 'index': 2, 'word': '##ك', 'start': 4, 'end': 5}, {'entity': 'punc', 'score': 0.9999568, 'index': 3, 'word': '؟', 'start': 6, 'end': 7}, {'entity': 'noun', 'score': 0.9977217, 'index': 4, 'word': 'ش', 'start': 8, 'end': 9}, {'entity': 'noun', 'score': 0.99993783, 'index': 5, 'word': '##خبار', 'start': 9, 'end': 13}, {'entity': 'prep', 'score': 0.5309442, 'index': 6, 'word': '##ك', 'start': 13, 'end': 14}, {'entity': 'punc', 'score': 0.9999575, 'index': 7, 'word': '؟', 'start': 15, 'end': 16}]

Note: to download our models, you would need transformers>=3.5.0. Otherwise, you could download the models manually.

    abstract = "In this paper, we explore the effects of language variants, data sizes, and fine-tuning task types in Arabic pre-trained language models. To do so, we build three pre-trained language models across three variants of Arabic: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), dialectal Arabic, and classical Arabic, in addition to a fourth language model which is pre-trained on a mix of the three. We also examine the importance of pre-training data size by building additional models that are pre-trained on a scaled-down set of the MSA variant. We compare our different models to each other, as well as to eight publicly available models by fine-tuning them on five NLP tasks spanning 12 datasets. Our results suggest that the variant proximity of pre-training data to fine-tuning data is more important than the pre-training data size. We exploit this insight in defining an optimized system selection model for the studied tasks.",
