This is a second attempt at a Dhivehi language model trained with Google Research's ELECTRA.
Tokenization and training CoLab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ZJ3tU9MwyWj6UtQ-8G7QJKTn-hG1uQ9v?usp=sharing
V1: similar performance to mBERT after 3 epochs
V2: fixed tokenizers do_lower_case=False and strip_accents=False to preserve vowel signs of Dhivehi
Corpus
Trained on @Sofwath's 307MB corpus of Dhivehi news: https://github.com/Sofwath/DhivehiDatasets
OSCAR was considered; as of this writing their web crawl has 126MB of Dhivehi text (79MB deduped).
Vocabulary
