TiRoBERTa: RoBERTa Pretrained for the Tigrinya Language

We pretrain a RoBERTa base model for Tigrinya on a dataset of 40 million tokens trained for 40 epochs.

Contained in this repo is the original pretrained Flax model that was trained on a TPU v3.8 and it's corresponding PyTorch version.

Hyperparameters

The hyperparameters corresponding to model sizes mentioned above are as follows:

Model Size L AH HS FFN P Seq
BASE 12 12 768 3072 125M 512

(L = number of layers; AH = number of attention heads; HS = hidden size; FFN = feedforward network dimension; P = number of parameters; Seq = maximum sequence length.)

Framework versions

  • Transformers 4.12.0.dev0
  • Pytorch 1.9.0+cu111
  • Datasets 1.13.3
  • Tokenizers 0.10.3
