Roberta Tagalog Base

🚀 RoBERTa Tagalog Base

This is a Tagalog RoBERTa model, trained as an improvement over our previous Tagalog pretrained Transformers. It is trained with TLUnified, a newer, larger, and more topically - varied pretraining corpus for Filipino. The model is part of a larger research project and is open - sourced for wider use in the Filipino NLP community.

🚀 Quick Start

This model is a cased model. We do not release uncased RoBERTa models.

✨ Features

• Trained as an improvement over previous Tagalog pretrained Transformers.
• Utilizes TLUnified, a more advanced pretraining corpus for Filipino.
• Part of a larger research project and open - sourced for the Filipino NLP community.
