🚀 ALBERT Persian

A Lite BERT for Self-supervised Learning of Language Representations for the Persian Language

ALBERT-Persian is the first attempt on ALBERT for the Persian Language. The model was trained based on Google's ALBERT BASE Version 2.0 over various writing styles from numerous subjects (e.g., scientific, novels, news) with more than 3.9M documents, 73M sentences, and 1.3B words, similar to the approach used for ParsBERT.

✨ Features

Persian NER [ARMAN, PEYMA]

This task aims to extract named entities in the text, such as names, and label them with appropriate NER classes like locations, organizations, etc. The datasets used for this task contain sentences marked in the IOB format. In this format, tokens not part of an entity are tagged as "O", the "B" tag corresponds to the first word of an object, and the "I" tag corresponds to the rest of the terms of the same entity. Both "B" and "I" tags are followed by a hyphen (or underscore), followed by the entity category. Thus, the NER task is a multi - class token classification problem that labels the tokens when fed a raw text. There are two primary datasets used in Persian NER, ARMAN and PEYMA.

ARMAN

The ARMAN dataset contains 7,682 sentences with 250,015 tokens tagged over six different classes:

1. Organization
2. Location
3. Facility
4. Event
5. Product
6. Person
