Sanaa-Dialect

Finetuned Arabic GPT-2 demo

This is a small GPT-2 model, originally trained on Arabic Wikipedia circa September 2020 , finetuned on dialect datasets from Qatar University, University of British Columbia / NLP, and Johns Hopkins University / LREC

You can use special tokens to prompt five dialects: [EGYPTIAN], [GULF], [LEVANTINE], [MAGHREBI], and [MSA]

from simpletransformers.language_generation import LanguageGenerationModel
model = LanguageGenerationModel("gpt2", "monsoon-nlp/sanaa-dialect")
model.generate('[GULF]' + "مدينتي هي", { 'max_length': 100 })

There is NO content filtering in the current version; do not use for public-facing text generation!

Training and Finetuning details

Original model and training: https://huggingface.co/monsoon-nlp/sanaa

I inserted new tokens into the tokenizer, finetuned the model on the dialect samples, and exported the new model.
