Model description

This is a DeBERTa [1] model for the Italian language, obtained using mDeBERTa (mdeberta-v3-base) as a starting point and focusing it on the Italian language by modifying the embedding layer (as in [2], computing document-level frequencies over the Wikipedia dataset)

The resulting model has 124M parameters, a vocabulary of 50.256 tokens, and a size of ~500 MB.

Quick usage

from transformers import DebertaV2TokenizerFast, DebertaV2Model

tokenizer = DebertaV2TokenizerFast.from_pretrained("osiria/deberta-base-italian")
model = DebertaV2Model.from_pretrained("osiria/deberta-base-italian")
