NusaBERT Large

NusaBERT Large is a multilingual encoder-based language model based on the BERT architecture. We conducted continued pre-training on open-source corpora of sabilmakbar/indo_wiki, acul3/KoPI-NLLB, and uonlp/CulturaX. On a held-out subset of the corpus, our model achieved:

• eval_accuracy: 0.7117
• eval_loss: 1.3268
• perplexity: 3.7690

This model was trained using the 🤗Transformers PyTorch framework. All training was done on an NVIDIA H100 GPU. LazarusNLP/NusaBERT-large is released under Apache 2.0 license.
