Chinese BERT Wwm
Chinese-BERT-wwm is a pre-trained transformer model and encoder designed for Chinese natural language processing. It converts Chinese text into dense vector representations to be used across various natural language processing applications.
The model utilizes a whole word masking strategy during pre-training, masking entire words rather than individual characters. This approach is designed to improve the capture of semantic meaning and language structure within Chinese datasets.
The project covers a range of downstream tasks including text classification, sequence labeling, and reading comprehension. It supports the fine-tuning of the pre-trained encoder for these specific tasks using custom Chinese datasets.
