  ### Introduction
  This repository provides the source code and checkpoints of the paper "Lawformer: A Pre-trained Language Model forChinese Legal Long Documents". You can download the checkpoint from the [huggingface model hub](https://huggingface.co/xcjthu/Lawformer) or from [here](https://data.thunlp.org/legal/Lawformer.zip).
  
  
  
  ### Easy Start
  We have uploaded our model to the huggingface model hub. Make sure you have installed transformers.
  ```python
  >>> from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer
  >>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("thunlp/Lawformer")
  >>> model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("thunlp/Lawformer")
  >>> inputs = tokenizer("任某提起诉讼，请求判令解除婚姻关系并对夫妻共同财产进行分割。", return_tensors="pt")
  >>> outputs = model(**inputs)
  ```
