# Legal-CamemBERT

* Legal-CamemBERT is a [CamemBERT](https://huggingface.co/camembert-base)-based model further pre-trained on [23,000+ statutory articles](https://huggingface.co/datasets/maastrichtlawtech/bsard) from the Belgian legislation.
* We chose the following training set-up: 50k training steps (200 epochs) with batches of 32 sequences of length 512 with an initial learning rate of 5e-5.
* Training was performed on one Tesla V100 GPU with 32 GB using the [code](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/examples/pytorch/language-modeling/run_mlm.py) provided by Hugging Face.
