This is a
GBERT-base with continued pretraining
on roughly 33 million German X/Twitter deduplicated posts from 2020. The pretraining is follows the task-adaptive pretraining setup suggested by
Gururangan et al. (2020). In total, the model was trained for 10 epochs. I am sharing this model as
it might be useful to some of you and initial result suggest (some) improvements compared to
GBERT-base
(which is a common choice for supervised fine-tuning).
Weblinks in posts were replaced by 'https' and user mentions were replaced by '@user'.
