# AraBERT : Pre-training BERT for Arabic Language Understanding
<img src="https://github.com/aub-mind/arabert/blob/master/arabert_logo.png" width="100" align="left"/>
**AraBERT** is an Arabic pretrained lanaguage model based on [Google's BERT architechture](https://github.com/google-research/bert). AraBERT uses the same BERT-Base config.
**AraBERT** is an Arabic pretrained lanaguage model based on [Google's BERT architechture](https://github.com/google-research/bert). AraBERT uses the same BERT-Base config. More details are available in the [AraBERT PAPER](https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.00104v2) and in the [AraBERT Meetup](https://github.com/WissamAntoun/pydata_khobar_meetup)
There are two version off the model AraBERTv0.1 and AraBERTv1, with the difference being that AraBERTv1 uses pre-segmented text where prefixes and suffixes were splitted using the [Farasa Segmenter](http://alt.qcri.org/farasa/segmenter.html).
......@@ -12,28 +13,34 @@ The model was trained on ~70M sentences or ~23GB of Arabic text with ~3B words.
We evalaute both AraBERT models on different downstream tasks and compare it to [mBERT]((https://github.com/google-research/bert/blob/master/multilingual.md)), and other state of the art models (*To the extent of our knowledge*). The Tasks were Sentiment Analysis on 6 different datasets ([HARD](https://github.com/elnagara/HARD-Arabic-Dataset), [ASTD-Balanced](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/D15-1299), [ArsenTD-Lev](https://staff.aub.edu.lb/~we07/Publications/ArSentD-LEV_Sentiment_Corpus.pdf), [LABR](https://github.com/mohamedadaly/LABR), [ArSaS](http://lrec-conf.org/workshops/lrec2018/W30/pdf/22_W30.pdf)), Named Entity Recognition with the [ANERcorp](http://curtis.ml.cmu.edu/w/courses/index.php/ANERcorp), and Arabic Question Answering on [Arabic-SQuAD and ARCD](https://github.com/husseinmozannar/SOQAL)
**Update 2 (21/5/2020) :**
Added support for the farasapy segmenter https://github.com/MagedSaeed/farasapy in the ``preprocess_arabert.py`` which is ~6x faster than the ``py4j.java_gateway``, consider setting ``use_farasapy=True`` when calling preprocess and pass it an instance of ``FarasaSegmenter(interactive=True)`` with interactive set to ``True`` for faster segmentation.
**Update 1 (21/4/2020) :**
Fixed an issue with ARCD fine-tuning which drastically improved performance. Initially we didn't account for the change of the ```answer_start``` during preprocessing.

## How to use
You can easily use AraBERT since it is almost fully compatible with existing codebases (You can use this repo instead of the official BERT one, the only difference is in the ```tokenization.py``` file where we modify the _is_punctuation function to make it compatible with the "+" symbol and the "[" and "]" characters)
To use HuggingFace's Transformer repository you only need to provide a lost of token that forces the model to not split them, also make sure that the text is pre-segmented:
