(BERT base) Language modeling in the legal domain in Portuguese
legal-bert-base-cased-ptbr is a Language Model in the legal domain in Portuguese based on the model BERTimbau base by using a MASK objective.
The model is intended to assist NLP research in the legal field, computer law and legal technology applications. Several legal texts in Portuguese were used (more information below).
Large version of the model will be available soon.
Pre-training corpora
