# UmBERTo Commoncrawl Cased

[UmBERTo](https://github.com/musixmatchresearch/umberto) is a Roberta-based Language Model trained on large Italian Corpora and uses two innovative approaches: SentencePiece and Whole Word Masking. Now available at [github.com/huggingface/transformers](https://huggingface.co/Musixmatch/umberto-commoncrawl-cased-v1)

## Dataset
UmBERTo-Commoncrawl-Cased utilizes the Italian subcorpus of [OSCAR](https://traces1.inria.fr/oscar/) as training set of the language model. We used deduplicated version of the Italian corpus that consists in 70 GB of plain text data, 210M sentences with 11B words where the sentences have been filtered and shuffled at line level in order to be used for NLP research.

## Pre-trained model

| Model | WWM | Cased | Tokenizer | Vocab Size  | Train Steps |  Download |
| ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ |------ | ------ |
| `umberto-commoncrawl-cased-v1` | YES | YES | SPM | 32K | 125k | [Link](http://bit.ly/35zO7GH) |

This model was trained with [SentencePiece](https://github.com/google/sentencepiece) and Whole Word Masking.

## Usage

##### Load UmBERTo with AutoModel, Autotokenizer:

```python

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Musixmatch/umberto-commoncrawl-cased-v1")
umberto = AutoModel.from_pretrained("Musixmatch/umberto-commoncrawl-cased-v1")

encoded_input = tokenizer.encode("Umberto Eco è stato un grande scrittore")
input_ids = torch.tensor(encoded_input).unsqueeze(0)  # Batch size 1
outputs = umberto(input_ids)
last_hidden_states = outputs[0]  # The last hidden-state is the first element of the output
```

##### Predict masked token:

```python
from transformers import pipeline

fill_mask = pipeline(
	"fill-mask",
	model="Musixmatch/umberto-commoncrawl-cased-v1",
	tokenizer="Musixmatch/umberto-commoncrawl-cased-v1"
)

result = fill_mask("Umberto Eco è <mask> un grande scrittore")
# {'sequence': '<s> Umberto Eco è considerato un grande scrittore</s>', 'score': 0.18599839508533478, 'token': 5032}
# {'sequence': '<s> Umberto Eco è stato un grande scrittore</s>', 'score': 0.17816807329654694, 'token': 471}
# {'sequence': '<s> Umberto Eco è sicuramente un grande scrittore</s>', 'score': 0.16565583646297455, 'token': 2654}
# {'sequence': '<s> Umberto Eco è indubbiamente un grande scrittore</s>', 'score': 0.0932890921831131, 'token': 17908}
# {'sequence': '<s> Umberto Eco è certamente un grande scrittore</s>', 'score': 0.054701317101716995, 'token': 5269}
