German Wikipedia LMs (GWLMs)

We present Language Models (BERT, BERT with Token Dropping, TEAMS, T5) pretrained on German Wikipedia.

This is an ongoing project!

German Wikipedia Corpus

We use a recent Wikipedia Dump, that can can be accessed here. Additionally, a sentence-segmented (using NLTK) is available here.

Fine-tuned Models

We fine-tuned NER models using SpanMarker library on GermEval 2014 NER dataset and upload the best models:

• GermEval 2014 NER Model with BERT as backbone LM
• GermEval 2014 NER with BERT + Token Dropping as backbone LM
• GermEval 2014 NER Model with TEAMS as backbone LM
