BETO (Spanish BERT) + Spanish SQuAD2.0

This model is provided by BETO team and fine-tuned on SQuAD-es-v2.0 for Q&A downstream task.

Details of the language model('dccuchile/bert-base-spanish-wwm-cased')

Language model ( 'dccuchile/bert-base-spanish-wwm-cased' ):

BETO is a BERT model trained on a big Spanish corpus . BETO is of size similar to a BERT-Base and was trained with the Whole Word Masking technique. Below you find Tensorflow and Pytorch checkpoints for the uncased and cased versions, as well as some results for Spanish benchmarks comparing BETO with Multilingual BERT as well as other (not BERT-based) models.
