# ERNIE

## Overview
ERNIE is a series of powerful models proposed by baidu, especially in Chinese tasks,
including [ERNIE1.0](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.09223), [ERNIE2.0](https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/6428),
[ERNIE3.0](https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.02137), [ERNIE-Gram](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.12148), [ERNIE-health](https://arxiv.org/abs/2110.07244), etc.

These models are contributed by [nghuyong](https://huggingface.co/nghuyong) and the official code can be found in [PaddleNLP](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleNLP) (in PaddlePaddle).

### How to use
Take `ernie-1.0-base-zh` as an example:

```Python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("nghuyong/ernie-1.0-base-zh")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("nghuyong/ernie-1.0-base-zh")
```
