--- # Albertina 100M PTPT **Albertina 100M PTPT** is a foundation, large language model for European **Portuguese** from **Portugal**. It is an **encoder** of the BERT family, based on the neural architecture Transformer and developed over the DeBERTa model, with most competitive performance for this language. It is distributed free of charge and under a most permissible license. | Albertina's Family of Models | |----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [**Albertina 1.5B PTPT**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-1b5-portuguese-ptpt-encoder) | | [**Albertina 1.5B PTBR**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-1b5-portuguese-ptbr-encoder) | | [**Albertina 1.5B PTPT 256**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-1b5-portuguese-ptpt-encoder-256)| | [**Albertina 1.5B PTBR 256**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-1b5-portuguese-ptbr-encoder-256)| | [**Albertina 900M PTPT**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-900m-portuguese-ptpt-encoder) | | [**Albertina 900M PTBR**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-900m-portuguese-ptbr-encoder) | | [**Albertina 100M PTPT**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-100m-portuguese-ptpt-encoder) | | [**Albertina 100M PTBR**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-100m-portuguese-ptbr-encoder) | **Albertina 100M PTPT** is developed by a joint team from the University of Lisbon and the University of Porto, Portugal.

# Model Description **This model card is for Albertina 100M PTPT base**, with 100M parameters, 12 layers and a hidden size of 768. Albertina-PT-PT base is distributed under an [MIT license](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-ptpt/blob/main/LICENSE). DeBERTa is distributed under an [MIT license](https://github.com/microsoft/DeBERTa/blob/master/LICENSE).
# Training Data [**Albertina 100M PTPT**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-ptpt-base) was trained over a 2.2 billion token data set that resulted from gathering some openly available corpora of European Portuguese from the following sources: - [OSCAR](https://huggingface.co/datasets/oscar-corpus/OSCAR-2301): the OSCAR data set includes documents in more than one hundred languages, including Portuguese, and it is widely used in the literature. It is the result of a selection performed over the [Common Crawl](https://commoncrawl.org/) data set, crawled from the Web, that retains only pages whose metadata indicates permission to be crawled, that performs deduplication, and that removes some boilerplate, among other filters. Given that it does not discriminate between the Portuguese variants, we performed extra filtering by retaining only documents whose meta-data indicate the Internet country code top-level domain of Portugal. We used the January 2023 version of OSCAR, which is based on the November/December 2022 version of Common Crawl. - [DCEP](https://joint-research-centre.ec.europa.eu/language-technology-resources/dcep-digital-corpus-european-parliament_en): the Digital Corpus of the European Parliament is a multilingual corpus including documents in all official EU languages published on the European Parliament's official website. We retained its European Portuguese portion. - [Europarl](https://www.statmt.org/europarl/): the European Parliament Proceedings Parallel Corpus is extracted from the proceedings of the European Parliament from 1996 to 2011. We retained its European Portuguese portion. - [ParlamentoPT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/PORTULAN/parlamento-pt): the ParlamentoPT is a data set we obtained by gathering the publicly available documents with the transcription of the debates in the Portuguese Parliament. ## Preprocessing We filtered the PTPT corpora using the [BLOOM pre-processing](https://github.com/bigscience-workshop/data-preparation) pipeline. We skipped the default filtering of stopwords since it would disrupt the syntactic structure, and also the filtering for language identification given the corpus was pre-selected as Portuguese. ## Training As codebase, we resorted to the [DeBERTa V1 base](https://huggingface.co/microsoft/deberta-base), for English. To train [**Albertina 100M PTPT**](https://huggingface.co/PORTULAN/albertina-ptpt-base), the data set was tokenized with the original DeBERTa tokenizer with a 128 token sequence truncation and dynamic padding. The model was trained using the maximum available memory capacity resulting in a batch size of 3072 samples (192 samples per GPU). We opted for a learning rate of 1e-5 with linear decay and 10k warm-up steps. A total of 200 training epochs were performed resulting in approximately 180k steps. The model was trained for one day on a2-megagpu-16gb Google Cloud A2 VMs with 16 GPUs, 96 vCPUs and 1.360 GB of RAM.
# Evaluation The base model version was evaluated on downstream tasks, namely the translations into PT-PT of the English data sets used for a few of the tasks in the widely-used [GLUE benchmark](https://huggingface.co/datasets/glue). ## GLUE tasks translated We resorted to [GLUE-PT](https://huggingface.co/datasets/PORTULAN/glue-ptpt), a **PTPT version of the GLUE** benchmark. We automatically translated the same four tasks from GLUE using [DeepL Translate](https://www.deepl.com/), which specifically provides translation from English to PT-PT as an option. | Model | RTE (Accuracy) | WNLI (Accuracy)| MRPC (F1) | STS-B (Pearson) | |--------------------------|----------------|----------------|-----------|-----------------| | **Albertina 900m PTPT** | **0.8339** | 0.4225 | **0.9171**| **0.8801** | | **Albertina 100m PTPT** | 0.6787 | **0.4507** | 0.8829 | 0.8581 |
# How to use You can use this model directly with a pipeline for masked language modeling: ```python >>> from transformers import pipeline >>> unmasker = pipeline('fill-mask', model='PORTULAN/albertina-ptpt-base') >>> unmasker("A culinária portuguesa é rica em sabores e [MASK], tornando-se um dos maiores tesouros do país.") [{'score': 0.8332648277282715, 'token': 14690, 'token_str': ' costumes', 'sequence': 'A culinária portuguesa é rica em sabores e costumes, tornando-se um dos maiores tesouros do país.'}, {'score': 0.07860890030860901, 'token': 29829, 'token_str': ' cores', 'sequence': 'A culinária portuguesa é rica em sabores e cores, tornando-se um dos maiores tesouros do país.'}, {'score': 0.03278181701898575, 'token': 35277, 'token_str': ' arte', 'sequence': 'A culinária portuguesa é rica em sabores e arte, tornando-se um dos maiores tesouros do país.'}, {'score': 0.009515956044197083, 'token': 9240, 'token_str': ' cor', 'sequence': 'A culinária portuguesa é rica em sabores e cor, tornando-se um dos maiores tesouros do país.'}, {'score': 0.009381960146129131, 'token': 33455, 'token_str': ' nuances', 'sequence': 'A culinária portuguesa é rica em sabores e nuances, tornando-se um dos maiores tesouros do país.'}] ``` The model can be used by fine-tuning it for a specific task: ```python >>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForSequenceClassification, TrainingArguments, Trainer >>> from datasets import load_dataset >>> model = AutoModelForSequenceClassification.from_pretrained("PORTULAN/albertina-ptpt-base", num_labels=2) >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("PORTULAN/albertina-ptpt-base") >>> dataset = load_dataset("PORTULAN/glue-ptpt", "rte") >>> def tokenize_function(examples): ... return tokenizer(examples["sentence1"], examples["sentence2"], padding="max_length", truncation=True) >>> tokenized_datasets = dataset.map(tokenize_function, batched=True) >>> training_args = TrainingArguments(output_dir="albertina-ptpt-rte", evaluation_strategy="epoch") >>> trainer = Trainer( ... model=model, ... args=training_args, ... train_dataset=tokenized_datasets["train"], ... eval_dataset=tokenized_datasets["validation"], ... ) >>> trainer.train() ```
