Here is how to use this model to get the features of a given text in PyTorch:

from transformers import BertTokenizer, BertModel
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained('zanelim/singbert')
model = BertModel.from_pretrained("zanelim/singbert")
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
output = model(**encoded_input)

and in TensorFlow:

from transformers import BertTokenizer, TFBertModel
tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("zanelim/singbert")
model = TFBertModel.from_pretrained("zanelim/singbert")
text = "Replace me by any text you'd like."
encoded_input = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='tf')
output = model(encoded_input)

Limitations and bias

This model was finetuned on colloquial Singlish and Manglish corpus, hence it is best applied on downstream tasks involving the main constituent languages- english, mandarin, malay. Also, as the training data is mainly from forums, beware of existing inherent bias.

Training data

Colloquial singlish and manglish (both are a mixture of English, Mandarin, Tamil, Malay, and other local dialects like Hokkien, Cantonese or Teochew) corpus. The corpus is collected from subreddits- r/singapore and r/malaysia, and forums such as hardwarezone.

Training procedure

Initialized with bert base uncased vocab and checkpoints (pre-trained weights). Top 1000 custom vocab tokens (non-overlapped with original bert vocab) were further extracted from training data and filled into unused tokens in original bert vocab.

Pre-training was further finetuned on training data with the following hyperparameters

  • train_batch_size: 512
  • max_seq_length: 128
  • num_train_steps: 300000
  • num_warmup_steps: 5000
  • learning_rate: 2e-5
  • hardware: TPU v3-8
