# DictaBERT: A State-of-the-Art BERT Suite for Modern Hebrew

State-of-the-art language model for Hebrew, released [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.16687).

This is the fine-tuned model for the joint parsing of the following tasks: 

- Prefix Segmentation
- Morphological Disabmgiuation
- Lexicographical Analysis (Lemmatization)
- Syntactical Parsing (Dependency-Tree)
- Named-Entity Recognition

For the bert-base models for other tasks, see [here](https://huggingface.co./collections/dicta-il/dictabert-6588e7cc08f83845fc42a18b).

Sample usage:

```python
from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('dicta-il/dictabert-joint')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('dicta-il/dictabert-joint', trust_remote_code=True)

model.eval()

sentence = 'בשנת 1948 השלים אפרים קישון את לימודיו בפיסול מתכת ובתולדות האמנות והחל לפרסם מאמרים הומוריסטיים'
print(model.predict([sentence], tokenizer))
```

Output:
```json
