Overview

Pretrained Japanese BERT models

This is a repository of pretrained Japanese BERT models. The models are available in Transformers by Hugging Face.

For information on the previous versions of our pretrained models, see the v1.0 tag of this repository.

Model Architecture

The architecture of our models are the same as the original BERT models proposed by Google.

  • BERT-base models consist of 12 layers, 768 dimensions of hidden states, and 12 attention heads.
  • BERT-large models consist of 24 layers, 1024 dimensions of hidden states, and 16 attention heads.

Training Data

The models are trained on the Japanese version of Wikipedia. The training corpus is generated from the Wikipedia Cirrussearch dump file as of August 31, 2020.

The generated corpus files are 4.0GB in total, consisting of approximately 30M sentences. We used the MeCab morphological parser with mecab-ipadic-NEologd dictionary to split texts into sentences.

Tokenization

For each of BERT-base and BERT-large, we provide two models with different tokenization methods.

  • For wordpiece models, the texts are first tokenized by MeCab with the Unidic 2.1.2 dictionary and then split into subwords by the WordPiece algorithm. The vocabulary size is 32768.
  • For character models, the texts are first tokenized by MeCab with the Unidic 2.1.2 dictionary and then split into characters. The vocabulary size is 6144.

We used fugashi and unidic-lite packages for the tokenization.

Training

The models are trained with the same configuration as the original BERT; 512 tokens per instance, 256 instances per batch, and 1M training steps. For training of the MLM (masked language modeling) objective, we introduced whole word masking in which all of the subword tokens corresponding to a single word (tokenized by MeCab) are masked at once.

For training of each model, we used a v3-8 instance of Cloud TPUs provided by TensorFlow Research Cloud program. The training took about 5 days and 14 days for BERT-base and BERT-large models, respectively.
