AraBERT : Pre-training BERT for Arabic Language Understanding

by | Feb 28, 2020 | NLP | 29,697 comments

Authors: Wissam Antoun, Fady Baly, Hazem Hajj

 

AraBERT is an Arabic pretrained language model based on Google’s BERT architecture. AraBERT uses the same BERT-Base config. More details are available in the AraBERT PAPER and in the AraBERT Meetup

There is two versions of the model AraBERTv0.1 and AraBERTv1, with the difference being that AraBERTv1 uses pre-segmented text where prefixes and suffixes were split using the Farasa Segmenter.

The model was trained on ~70M sentences or ~23GB of Arabic text with ~3B words.

Source Code Repository: https://github.com/aub-mind/arabert
Paper: https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/2020.osact-1.2.pdf

 

Results (Accuracy)

We evaluate both AraBERT models on different downstream tasks and compare it to mBERT, and other state of the art models (To the extent of our knowledge). The Tasks were Sentiment Analysis on 6 different datasets (HARD, ASTD-Balanced, ArsenTD-Lev, LABR, ArSaS), Named Entity Recognition with the ANERcorp, and Arabic Question Answering on Arabic-SQuAD and ARCD

Task prev. SOTA mBERT AraBERTv0.1 AraBERTv1
HARD 95.7 ElJundi et.al. 95.7 96.2 96.1
ASTD 86.5 ElJundi et.al. 80.1 92.2 92.6
