# ptt5-v2-3b

## Introduction
[ptt5-v2 models](https://huggingface.co/collections/unicamp-dl/ptt5-v2-666538a650188ba00aa8d2d0) are pretrained T5 models tailored for the Portuguese language, continuing from Google's original checkpoints with sizes from t5-small to t5-3B.
These checkpoints were used to train MonoT5 rerankers for the Portuguese language, which can be found in their  [HuggingFace collection](https://huggingface.co/collections/unicamp-dl/monoptt5-66653981877df3ea727f720d).
For further information about the pretraining process, please refer to our paper, [ptt5-v2: A Closer Look at Continued Pretraining of T5 Models for the Portuguese Language](https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.09144).

## Usage
```python
from transformers import T5Tokenizer, T5ForConditionalGeneration

tokenizer = T5Tokenizer.from_pretrained("unicamp-dl/ptt5-v2-3b")
model = T5ForConditionalGeneration.from_pretrained("unicamp-dl/ptt5-v2-3b")
```
