# rubert-base-cased

RuBERT \(Russian, cased, 12-layer, 768-hidden, 12-heads, 180M parameters\) was trained on the Russian part of Wikipedia
and news data. We used this training data to build a vocabulary of Russian subtokens and took a multilingual version
of BERT-base as an initialization for RuBERT\[1\].
