# DeBERTa V2 base Japanese

This is a [DeBERTaV2](https://github.com/microsoft/DeBERTa) model pretrained on Japanese texts.
The codes for the pretraining are available at [retarfi/language-pretraining](https://github.com/retarfi/language-pretraining/releases/tag/v2.2.1).


## How to use

You can use this model for masked language modeling as follows:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("izumi-lab/deberta-v2-base-japanese", use_fast=False)
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("izumi-lab/deberta-v2-base-japanese")
...
```


## Tokenization

The model uses a sentencepiece-based tokenizer, the vocabulary was trained on the Japanese Wikipedia using [sentencepiece](https://github.com/google/sentencepiece).


## Training Data

We used the following corpora for pre-training:

- [Japanese portion of CC-100](https://huggingface.co./datasets/izumi-lab/cc100-ja)
- [Japanese portion of mC4](https://huggingface.co./datasets/izumi-lab/mc4-ja-filter-ja-normal)
- [Japanese portion of OSCAR2301](https://huggingface.co./datasets/izumi-lab/oscar2301-ja-filter-ja-normal)
- [Japanese Wikipedia as of July 20, 2023](https://huggingface.co./datasets/izumi-lab/wikipedia-ja-20230720)
- [Japanese Wikinews as of July 28, 2023](https://huggingface.co./datasets/izumi-lab/wikinews-ja-20230728)


## Training Parameters

learning_rate in parentheses indicate the learning rate for additional pre-training with the financial corpus.
- learning_rate: 2.4e-4 (6e-5)
- total_train_batch_size: 2,016
- max_seq_length: 512
- optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-06
- lr_scheduler_type: linear schedule with warmup
- training_steps: 1,000,000

## Fine-tuning on General NLU tasks

We evaluate our model with the average of five seeds.
