Bert Base Arabic Camelbert Mix Did Nadi

🚀 CAMeLBERT-Mix DID NADI Model

CAMeLBERT-Mix DID NADI Model is a dialect identification (DID) model. It solves the problem of accurately identifying Arabic dialects and provides a reliable solution for Arabic language processing tasks.

🚀 Quick Start

You can use the CAMeLBERT-Mix DID NADI model as part of the transformers pipeline. This model will also be available in CAMeL Tools soon.

✨ Features

• Built by fine-tuning the CAMeLBERT-Mix model.
• Fine-tuned on the NADI Coountry-level dataset with 21 labels.

📦 Installation

To download our models, you would need transformers>=3.5.0. Otherwise, you could download the models manually.

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

>>> from transformers import pipeline

 {'label': 'Saudi_Arabia', 'score': 0.26750022172927856}]

📚 Documentation

Model description

CAMeLBERT-Mix DID NADI Model is a dialect identification (DID) model that was built by fine-tuning the CAMeLBERT-Mix model. For the fine-tuning, we used the NADI Coountry-level dataset, which includes 21 labels. Our fine-tuning procedure and the hyperparameters we used can be found in our paper "The Interplay of Variant, Size, and Task Type in Arabic Pre-trained Language Models." Our fine-tuning code can be found here.

Intended uses

You can use the CAMeLBERT-Mix DID NADI model as part of the transformers pipeline. This model will also be available in CAMeL Tools soon.

    abstract = "In this paper, we explore the effects of language variants, data sizes, and fine-tuning task types in Arabic pre-trained language models. To do so, we build three pre-trained language models across three variants of Arabic: Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), dialectal Arabic, and classical Arabic, in addition to a fourth language model which is pre-trained on a mix of the three. We also examine the importance of pre-training data size by building additional models that are pre-trained on a scaled-down set of the MSA variant. We compare our different models to each other, as well as to eight publicly available models by fine-tuning them on five NLP tasks spanning 12 datasets. Our results suggest that the variant proximity of pre-training data to fine-tuning data is more important than the pre-training data size. We exploit this insight in defining an optimized system selection model for the studied tasks.",
