This is my third version of a Dhivehi language model trained with Google Research's ELECTRA.
Tokenization and pre-training CoLab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ZJ3tU9MwyWj6UtQ-8G7QJKTn-hG1uQ9v?usp=sharing
Using SimpleTransformers to classify news https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1KnyQxRNWG_yVwms_x9MUAqFQVeMecTV7?usp=sharing
V1: similar performance to mBERT on news classification task after finetuning for 3 epochs (52%)
V2: fixed tokenizers do_lower_case=False and strip_accents=False to preserve vowel signs of Dhivehi
8-topic news classification score: 88.6% compared to mBERT: 51.8%
V3: trained longer on larger corpus (added OSCAR and Wikipedia)
news classification score: 91.7%
Corpus
Trained on @Sofwath's 307MB corpus of Dhivehi text: https://github.com/Sofwath/DhivehiDatasets
Plus OSCAR and 2020-10-01 dump of dv.wikipedia.org
