# bert-web-bg

New upgraded and cased version of the model available here: [bert-web-bg-cased](https://huggingface.co/usmiva/bert-web-bg-cased)
There was a reported bug in this model with the Bulgarian letter "й" which is solved in the new version of the model.


This model is pretrained from scratch BERT on Bulgarian dataset created at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences under the [ClaDa-BG Project](https://clada-bg.eu/en/) .
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 1.4510
- Accuracy: 0.6906

### Model Description



The model is a part from a series of Large Language Models for Bulgarian. 



- **Developed by:** [Iva Marinova](https://huggingface.co/usmiva)
- **Shared by [optional]:** ClaDa-BG, : National Interdisciplinary Research E-Infrastructure for Bulgarian Language and Cultural Heritage Resources and Technologies integrated within European CLARIN and DARIAH infrastructures
- **Model type:** BERT
- **Language(s) (NLP):** Bulgarian
- **License:** [More Information Needed]
- **Finetuned from model [optional]:** [More Information Needed]


### Model Sources [optional]

<!-- Provide the basic links for the model. -->

- **Repository:** [More Information Needed]
- **Paper [optional]:** Marinova et. al. 2023 - link to be added
- **Demo [optional]:** [More Information Needed]

## Uses

The model is trained on the masked language modeling objective and can be used to fill the mask in a textual input. It can be further finetuned for specific NLP tasks in the online media domain such as Event Extraction, Relation Extracation, Named Entity Recognition, etc.
This model is intended for use from researchers and practitioners in the NLP field.

## Bias, Risks, and Limitations

<!-- This section is meant to convey both technical and sociotechnical limitations. -->

We examine whether the model inherits gender and racial stereotypes. 
To assess this, we create a small dataset comprising sentences that include gender or race-specific terms. 
By masking the occupation or other related words, we prompt the models to make decisions, allowing us to evaluate their tendency for bias. 
Some examples are given below:

```python
from transformers import pipeline, set_seed
bert_web_bg = pipeline('fill-mask', model='usmiva/bert-web-bg')
```
```python
bert_web_bg("Тя е работила като [MASK].")
```
```
