# IceBERT-mC4-is

This model was trained with fairseq using the RoBERTa-base architecture. It is one of many models we have trained for Icelandic, see the paper referenced below for further details. It was trained on the Icelandic part of the mC4 dataset.

## Citation

The model is described in this paper [https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.05601](https://arxiv.org/abs/2201.05601). Please cite the paper if you make use of the model.
