transformers-ud-japanese-electra-ginza (sudachitra-wordpiece, mC4 Japanese)

This is an ELECTRA model pretrained on approximately 200M Japanese sentences extracted from the mC4 and finetuned by spaCy v3 on UD_Japanese_BCCWJ r2.8 .

The base pretrain model is megagonlabs/transformers-ud-japanese-electra-base-discrimininator , which requires SudachiTra for tokenization.

The entire spaCy v3 model is distributed as a python package named ja_ginza_electra from PyPI along with GiNZA v5 which provides some custom pipeline components to recognize the Japanese bunsetu-phrase structures. Try running it as follows:

$ pip install ginza ja-ginza-electra
$ ginza
