Model Description
As part of the ITANONG project's 10 billion-token Tagalog dataset, we have introduced our initial pre-trained language models for Philippine languages. Our model suite encompasses various BERT-based, GPT-based, and Sentence Transformers tailored for Tagalog,Taglish and Cebuano.
Training Details
This model was trained using an Nvidia V100-32GB GPU on DOST-ASTI Computing and Archiving Research Environment (COARE) - https://asti.dost.gov.ph/projects/coare/
Training Data
The training dataset was compiled from both formal and informal sources, consisting of 5,159,917 instances from formal channels and 3,057,180 from informal sources. More information on pre-processing and training parameters on our paper
