+### Welcome to ParlBERT-German!
+
+🏷 **Model description**
+
+**ParlBERT-German** is a domain-specific language model. The model was created through a process of continuous pre-training, which involved using a generic German language model (GermanBERT) as the foundation and further enhancing it with domain-specific knowledge. We used [DeuParl](https://tudatalib.ulb.tu-darmstadt.de/handle/tudatalib/2889?show=full) as the domain-specific dataset for continuous pre-training, which provided **ParlBERT-German** with an better understanding of the language and context used in parliamentary debates. The result is a specialized language model that can be used in related scenarios.
+
+
+🤖 **Model training**
+During the model training process, a masked language modeling approach was used with a token masking probability of 15\%. The training was performed for a single epoch, which means that the entire dataset was passed through the model once during the training process. 
+
+⚠️ **Limitations**
+
+Models are often highly domain dependent. Therefore, the model may perform less well on different domains and text types not included in the training set.
