# PhoBERT


## Overview

The PhoBERT model was proposed in [PhoBERT: Pre-trained language models for Vietnamese](https://huggingface.co/papers/2003.00744) by Dat Quoc Nguyen, Anh Tuan Nguyen.

The abstract from the paper is the following:

*We present PhoBERT with two versions, PhoBERT-base and PhoBERT-large, the first public large-scale monolingual
language models pre-trained for Vietnamese. Experimental results show that PhoBERT consistently outperforms the recent
best pre-trained multilingual model XLM-R (Conneau et al., 2020) and improves the state-of-the-art in multiple
Vietnamese-specific NLP tasks including Part-of-speech tagging, Dependency parsing, Named-entity recognition and
Natural language inference.*

This model was contributed by [dqnguyen](https://huggingface.co/dqnguyen). The original code can be found [here](https://github.com/VinAIResearch/PhoBERT).

## Usage example

```python
import torch

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer


phobert = AutoModel.from_pretrained("vinai/phobert-base", device_map="auto")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("vinai/phobert-base")

# INPUT TEXT MUST BE ALREADY WORD-SEGMENTED!
line = "Tôi là sinh_viên trường đại_học Công_nghệ ."

input_ids = torch.tensor([tokenizer.encode(line)])

with torch.no_grad():
    features = phobert(input_ids)  # Models outputs are now tuples
```

<Tip>

PhoBERT implementation is the same as BERT, except for tokenization. Refer to [BERT documentation](bert) for information on
configuration classes and their parameters. PhoBERT-specific tokenizer is documented below.
