# ALBERTI

ALBERTI is a set of two BERT-based multilingual model for poetry. One for verses and another one for stanzas. This model has been further trained with the PULPO corpus for verses using [Flax](https://github.com/google/flax), including training scripts.

This is part of the
[Flax/Jax Community Week](https://discuss.huggingface.co/t/open-to-the-community-community-week-using-jax-flax-for-nlp-cv/7104), organised by [HuggingFace](https://huggingface.co/) and TPU usage sponsored by Google.
