Language-Specific BERT
Learn how to apply monolingual BERT models for specific languages, including French FlauBERT, Spanish BETO, and more. Understand tokenization, embeddings, and fine-tuning to enhance language-specific NLP performance.
The M-BERT model is used in many different languages. However, instead of having a single M-BERT model for many languages, can we train a monolingual BERT for a specific target language? We can, and that is precisely what we will learn in this lesson.

Below are several interesting and popular monolingual BERT models for various languages:
FlauBERT for French
BETO for Spanish
BERTje for Dutch
German BERT
