BERTić-COMtext-SR-legal-MSD-ekavica is a variant of the BERTić model, fine-tuned on the task of morphosyntactic (MSD) tag prediction in Serbian legal texts written in the Ekavian pronunciation. The model was fine-tuned for 15 epochs on the Ekavian variant of the COMtext.SR.legal dataset.

This model was evaluated on the tasks of MSD prediction and lemmatization of Serbian legal texts. Lemmatization was performed using the predicted MSD tags and the srLex inflectional lexicon.

Accuracy and Word Error Rate were used as evaluation metrics.

This model was compared to:

All large language models were fine-tuned for 15 epochs. CLASSLA and BERTić-SETimes were directly tested on the entire COMtext.SR.legal.ekavica corpus. BERTić-COMtext-SR-legal-MSD-ekavica and SrBERTa were fine-tuned and evaluated on the COMtext.SR.legal.ekavica corpus using 10-fold CV.

The code and data to run these experiments is available on the COMtext.SR GitHub repository.
