This model is the neuralmind/bert-large-portuguese-cased fine-tuned first on the Universal Dependencies Portuguese dataset and then fine-tuned on the PropBank.Br data. This is part of a project from which resulted the following models:

Intended uses & limitations

How to use

To use the transformers portion of this model:

python

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("liaad/ud_srl-pt_bertimbau-large")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("liaad/ud_srl-pt_bertimbau-large")

To use the full SRL model (transformers portion + a decoding layer), refer to the project's github.

Limitations and bias

The model was trained only for 10 epochs in the Universal Dependencies dataset.

Training procedure

The model was trained on the Universal Dependencies Portuguese dataset; then on the CoNLL formatted OntoNotes v5.0; then on Portuguese semantic role labeling data (PropBank.Br) using 10-fold Cross-Validation. The 10 resulting models were tested on the folds as well as on a smaller opinion dataset "Buscapé". For more information, please see the accompanying article (See BibTeX entry and citation info below) and the project's github.
