# German BERT large

Released, Oct 2020, this is a German BERT language model trained collaboratively by the makers of the original German BERT (aka "bert-base-german-cased") and the dbmdz BERT (aka bert-base-german-dbmdz-cased). In our [paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.10906.pdf), we outline the steps taken to train our model and show that it outperforms its predecessors.  

## Overview  
**Paper:** [here](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2010.10906.pdf)  
**Architecture:** BERT large  
**Language:** German  

## Performance

GermEval18 Coarse: 80.08
GermEval18 Fine:   52.48
GermEval14:        88.16
