  # RoBERTa base trained with data from National Library of Spain (BNE)

  ## Model Description
24
- RoBERTa-base-bne is a transformer-based masked language model for the Spanish language. It is based on the [RoBERTa](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11692) base model and has been pre-trained using the largest Spanish corpus known to date, with a total of 570GB of clean and deduplicated text processed for this work, compiled from the web crawlings performed by the National Library of Spain from 2009 to 2019.

26
  ## Training corpora and preprocessing
27
- We cleaned 59TB of WARC files and we deduplicated them at computing node level. This resulted into 2TB of Spanish clean corpus. After that, we performed a global deduplication resulting into 570GB of text.

The RoBERTa-base-bne pretraining consists of a masked language model training that follows the approach employed for the RoBERTa base model with the same hyperparameters as in the original work. The training lasted a total of 48 hours with 16 computing nodes each one with 4 NVIDIA V100 GPUs of 16GB VRAM.

+ RoBERTa-base-bne is a transformer-based masked language model for the Spanish language. It is based on the [RoBERTa](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11692) base model and has been pre-trained using the largest Spanish corpus known to date, with a total of 570GB of clean and deduplicated text processed for this work, compiled from the web crawlings performed by the [National Library of Spain (Biblioteca Nacional de España)](http://www.bne.es/en/Inicio/index.html) from 2009 to 2019.

  ## Training corpora and preprocessing
27
+ The [National Library of Spain (Biblioteca Nacional de España)](http://www.bne.es/en/Inicio/index.html) crawls all .es domains once a year. The training corpus consists of 59TB of WARC files from these crawls, carried out from 2009 to 2019.
28
+
29
+ To obtain a high-quality training corpus, the corpus has been preprocessed with a pipeline of operations, including among the others, sentence splitting, language detection, filtering of bad-formed sentences and deduplication of repetitive contents. During the process document boundaries are kept. This resulted into 2TB of Spanish clean corpus. Further global deduplication among the corpus is applied, resulting into 570GB of text.
