Model overview

The chinese-bert-wwm model is a Chinese pre-trained BERT with Whole Word Masking, developed by the HFL team. It is based on the BERT model architecture, pre-trained on a large Chinese corpus using whole word masking to further accelerate Chinese natural language processing. The model was pre-trained using the techniques described in the paper Pre-Training with Whole Word Masking for Chinese BERT.

Similar Chinese BERT models developed by the HFL team include chinese-roberta-wwm-ext, chinese-roberta-wwm-ext-large, and chinese-macbert-base. These models incorporate various techniques like Whole Word Masking and N-gram masking to improve performance on Chinese NLP tasks.

Model inputs and outputs

Inputs

  • Text: The chinese-bert-wwm model takes raw Chinese text as input, which is then tokenized and converted to token IDs that the model can process.

Outputs

  • Masked token predictions: The primary output of the model is the prediction of masked tokens in the input text, given the context of the surrounding unmasked tokens. This allows the model to be used for tasks like cloze-style fill-in-the-blank exercises.

Capabilities

The chinese-bert-wwm model can be used for a variety of Chinese natural language processing tasks, such as text classification, named entity recognition, question answering, and text generation. Its ability to capture contextual information and perform whole-word masking makes it well-suited for applications that require understanding of Chinese language semantics and structure.

What can I use it for?

The chinese-bert-wwm model can be fine-tuned and used for a wide range of Chinese NLP tasks, including:

  • Text classification: Classifying Chinese text into different categories (e.g., sentiment analysis, topic classification).
  • Named entity recognition: Identifying and extracting named entities (e.g., people, organizations, locations) from Chinese text.
  • Question answering: Answering questions based on a given Chinese text passage.
  • Text generation: Generating coherent and contextually relevant Chinese text, such as summaries or dialogues.

Things to try

One interesting aspect of the chinese-bert-wwm model is its use of whole-word masking during pre-training, which aims to better capture the semantic relationships between words in the Chinese language. Researchers and developers can explore how this technique affects the model's performance on different Chinese NLP tasks, and compare it to other Chinese language models that use different pre-training approaches.

Another area to investigate is the model's performance on specialized Chinese domains or dialects, as the pre-training corpus may not fully capture the nuances of certain linguistic variations. Fine-tuning the model on domain-specific data could potentially improve its effectiveness in those scenarios.

The chinese-macbert-base model is an improved version of the BERT language model developed by the HFL research team. It introduces a novel pre-training task called "MLM as correction" which aims to mitigate the discrepancy between pre-training and fine-tuning. Instead of masking tokens with the [MASK] token, which never appears during fine-tuning, the model replaces tokens with similar words based on word embeddings. This helps the model learn a more realistic language representation. The chinese-macbert-base model is part of the Chinese BERT series developed by the HFL team, which also includes Chinese BERT-wwm, Chinese ELECTRA, and Chinese XLNet. These models have shown strong performance on a variety of Chinese NLP tasks.
