Requirements
Before embarking on this journey, you’ll need to set up your environment. Here’s what you need:
- Python installed on your system
- Install the necessary libraries:
pip install transformerspip install unicodedatapip install flair
How to Use the Ancient Greek BERT Model
Using the Ancient Greek BERT model is as easy as pie. Just follow these steps:
To utilize the model from the HuggingFace Model Hub, execute the following lines of code:
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("pranaydeeps/Ancient-Greek-BERT")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("pranaydeeps/Ancient-Greek-BERT")
Fine-Tuning for POS and Morphological Analysis
For a more tailored experience, fine-tuning the model for Part-of-Speech (PoS) Tagging and Morphological Analysis is essential. For specifics on how to fine-tune the model, refer to our GitHub repository.
Training Data Insights
Our model is built on a solid foundation, initialized from the AUEB NLP Group’s Greek BERT. It underwent further training using monolingual data sourced from:
- The First1K Greek Project
- Perseus Digital Library
- PROIEL Treebank
- Gorman’s Treebank
It achieved remarkable accuracy, yielding a perplexity score of just 4.8 on the test set!
Troubleshooting
When navigating the captivating yet complex world of Ancient Greek BERT, you may encounter a few roadblocks. Here are some troubleshooting tips to keep you on track:
- Error when importing libraries: Ensure you have installed
transformers,unicodedata, andflaircorrectly. Re-run their installation commands. - Model not found: Verify that you have the correct spelling and casing for the model name: “pranaydeeps/Ancient-Greek-BERT”.
- Performance issues: Make sure your environment has sufficient resources. Ideally, you should use GPUs for optimal performance.
