| # bert-base-zh-cased | |
| We are sharing smaller versions of [bert-base-multilingual-cased](https://huggingface.co./bert-base-multilingual-cased) that handle a custom number of languages. | |
| Unlike [distilbert-base-multilingual-cased](https://huggingface.co./distilbert-base-multilingual-cased), our versions give exactly the same representations produced by the original model which preserves the original accuracy. | |
| For more information please visit our paper: [Load What You Need: Smaller Versions of Multilingual BERT](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.sustainlp-1.16.pdf). | |
| ## How to use | |
| ```python | |
| from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel | |
| tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Geotrend/bert-base-zh-cased") | |
| model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("Geotrend/bert-base-zh-cased") | |
| ``` | |
| To generate other smaller versions of multilingual transformers please visit [our Github repo](https://github.com/Geotrend-research/smaller-transformers). | |
