# ERNIE-1.0

## Introduction

ERNIE (Enhanced Representation through kNowledge IntEgration) is proposed by Baidu in 2019,
which is designed to learn language representation enhanced by knowledge masking strategies i.e. entity-level masking and phrase-level masking. 
Experimental results show that ERNIE achieve state-of-the-art results on five Chinese natural language processing tasks including natural language inference, 
semantic similarity, named entity recognition, sentiment analysis and question answering.

## Released Model Info

|Model Name|Language|Model Structure|
|:---:|:---:|:---:|
|ernie-1.0| Chinese |Layer:12, Hidden:768, Heads:12|

This released pytorch model is converted from the officially released PaddlePaddle ERNIE model and 
a series of experiments have been conducted to check the accuracy of the conversion.

## How to use
```Python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("nghuyong/ernie-1.0")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("nghuyong/ernie-1.0")
```
