Deprecation Notice
This model is deprecated. New Filipino Transformer models trained with a much larger corpora are available.
Use jcblaise/roberta-tagalog-base or jcblaise/roberta-tagalog-large instead for better performance.


BERT Tagalog Base Uncased

Tagalog version of BERT trained on a large preprocessed text corpus scraped and sourced from the internet. This model is part of a larger research project. We open-source the model to allow greater usage within the Filipino NLP community.
