# bert-base-bg-cs-pl-ru-cased

SlavicBERT\[1\] \(Slavic \(bg, cs, pl, ru\), cased, 12‑layer, 768‑hidden, 12‑heads, 180M parameters\) was trained on Russian News and four Wikipedias: Bulgarian, Czech, Polish, and Russian. Subtoken vocabulary was built using this data. Multilingual BERT was used as an initialization for SlavicBERT.
