LVBERT: Transformer-Based Model for Latvian Language Understanding
Artūrs Znotiņš, Guntis Bārzdiņš · Frontiers in artificial intelligence and applications · 2020
This paper presents LVBERT – the first publicly available monolingual language model pre-trained for Latvian. We show that LVBERT improves the state-of-the-art for three Latvian NLP tasks including Part-of-Speech tagging, Named Entity Recognition and Universal Dependency parsing. We release LVBERT to facilitate future research and downstream applications for Latvian NLP.
