DictaBERT: A State-of-the-Art BERT Suite for Modern Hebrew

State-of-the-art language model for Hebrew, released here.

This is the fine-tuned model for the morphological tagging task.

For the bert-base models for other tasks, see here.

Sample usage:

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('dicta-il/dictabert-morph')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('dicta-il/dictabert-morph', trust_remote_code=True)

model.eval()

sentence = 'בשנת 1948 השלים אפרים קישון את לימודיו בפיסול מתכת ובתולדות האמנות והחל לפרסם מאמרים הומוריסטיים'
print(model.predict([sentence], tokenizer))

Output:
