# yacis-electra-small

This is [ELECTRA](https://github.com/google-research/electra) Small model for Japanese pretrained on 354 million sentences / 5.6 billion words of [YACIS](https://github.com/ptaszynski/yacis-corpus) blog corpus.

The corpus was tokenized for pretraining with [MeCab](https://taku910.github.io/mecab/). Subword tokenization was peroformed with WordPiece. 

## Model architecture

This model uses the original ELECTRA Small model; 12 layers, 128 dimensions of hidden states, and 12 attention heads.

Vocabulary size was 32,000 tokens.
