# Model Card for Silesian HerBERT Base
Silesian HerBERT Base is a [HerBERT Base](https://huggingface.co/allegro/herbert-base-cased) model with a Silesian tokenizer and fine-tuned on Silesian Wikipedia.
## Usage
Example code:
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("ipipan/silesian-herbert-base")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("ipipan/silesian-herbert-base")
output = model(
**tokenizer.batch_encode_plus(
[
(
"Wielgŏ Piyramida we Gizie, mianowanŏ tyż Piyramida ôd Cheopsa, to je nojsrogszŏ a nojbarzij znanŏ ze egipskich piyramid we Gizie.",
)
],
padding='longest',
add_special_tokens=True,
return_tensors='pt'
)
)
```

abstract = "Pre-trained language models have revolutionized the natural language understanding landscape, most notably BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers). However, a significant challenge remains for low-resource languages, where limited data hinders the effective training of such models. This work presents a novel approach to bridge this gap by transferring BERT capabilities from high-resource to low-resource languages using vocabulary matching. We conduct experiments on the Silesian and Kashubian languages and demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach to improve the performance of BERT models even when the target language has minimal training data. Our results highlight the potential of the proposed technique to effectively train BERT models for low-resource languages, thus democratizing access to advanced language understanding models.",
