Usage with Huggingface's transformers library

The models have been uploaded to huggingface's servers and can be used by specifying TurkuNLP/wikibert-base-$lang-cased. See the whole list of models here.

Short example for loading a BERT model without any heads and getting logits out of it:

import transformers

# Using Estonian for this example.
# Load tokenizer and model
tokenizer = transformers.BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("TurkuNLP/wikibert-base-et-cased")
model = transformers.BertModel.from_pretrained("TurkuNLP/wikibert-base-et-cased")

# Tokenize, ask for pytorch tensors.
tokens = tokenizer.encode_plus("Kuidas läheb?", return_tensors="pt") # "How are you?"

# Get logits.
logits = model(**tokens)[0]

# Do whatever you want with said logits...
