ScholarBERT_100 Model

This is the ScholarBERT_100 variant of the ScholarBERT model family.

The model is pretrained on a large collection of scientific research articles (221B tokens).

This is a cased (case-sensitive) model. The tokenizer will not convert all inputs to lower-case by default.

The model is based on the same architecture as BERT-large and has a total of 340M parameters.

Training Dataset

The vocab and the model are pertrained on 100% of the PRD scientific literature dataset.

The PRD dataset is provided by Public.Resource.Org, Inc. (“Public Resource”), a nonprofit organization based in California. This dataset was constructed from a corpus of journal article files, from which We successfully extracted text from 75,496,055 articles from 178,928 journals. The articles span across Arts & Humanities, Life Sciences & Biomedicine, Physical Sciences, Social Sciences, and Technology. The distribution of articles is shown below.
