aimgo/LAMB

LAMB (LAtin ModernBERT) is a Latin encoder-only model based on the ModernBERT architecture, pre-trained on nearly 24B Latin tokens, and ready for use with any Latin orthography.

Features

Usage

Predicting Masked Tokens

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForMaskedLM

model_id = "aimgo/LAMB"

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_id)
model = AutoModelForMaskedLM.from_pretrained(model_id)

text = "et ecce tu eras [MASK] me et ego foris, et ibi te quaerebam"

inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)

masked_index = inputs["input_ids"][0].tolist().index(tokenizer.mask_token_id)
predicted_token_id = outputs.logits[0, masked_index].argmax(axis=-1)
predicted_token = tokenizer.decode(predicted_token_id)

print("Input:", text)
print("Predicted:", predicted_token)
