[ERNIE1.0](https://huggingface.co/papers/1904.09223), [ERNIE2.0](https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/6428),
[ERNIE3.0](https://huggingface.co/papers/2107.02137), [ERNIE-Gram](https://huggingface.co/papers/2010.12148), [ERNIE-health](https://huggingface.co/papers/2110.07244) are a series of powerful models proposed by baidu, especially in Chinese tasks.
ERNIE (Enhanced Representation through kNowledge IntEgration) is designed to learn language representation enhanced by knowledge masking strategies, which includes entity-level masking and phrase-level masking.
Other ERNIE models released by baidu can be found at [Ernie 4.5](./ernie4_5), and [Ernie 4.5 MoE](./ernie4_5_moe).

The example below demonstrates how to predict the `[MASK]` token with [`Pipeline`], [`AutoModel`], and from the command line.
```py
from transformers import pipeline
pipeline = pipeline(
task="fill-mask",
model="nghuyong/ernie-3.0-xbase-zh"
)
pipeline("巴黎是[MASK]国的首都。")
```
```py
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForMaskedLM, AutoTokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(
"nghuyong/ernie-3.0-xbase-zh",
)
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained(
"nghuyong/ernie-3.0-xbase-zh",
dtype=torch.float16,
device_map="auto"
)
inputs = tokenizer("巴黎是[MASK]国的首都。", return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)
with torch.no_grad():
outputs = model(**inputs)
predictions = outputs.logits
masked_index = torch.where(inputs['input_ids'] == tokenizer.mask_token_id)[1]
predicted_token_id = predictions[0, masked_index].argmax(dim=-1)
predicted_token = tokenizer.decode(predicted_token_id)
print(f"The predicted token is: {predicted_token}")
```
```bash
echo -e "巴黎是[MASK]国的首都。" | transformers run --task fill-mask --model nghuyong/ernie-3.0-xbase-zh --device 0
```
