Model description

This is a DistilBERT [1] model for the Italian language, obtained using the multilingual DistilBERT ([distilbert-base-multilingual-cased](https://huggingface.co/distilbert-base-multilingual-cased)) as a starting point and focusing it on the Italian language by modifying the embedding layer (as in [2], computing document-level frequencies over the Wikipedia dataset) The resulting model has 67M parameters, a vocabulary of 30.785 tokens, and a size of ~270 MB.

Quick usage

```python from transformers import BertTokenizerFast, DistilBertModel tokenizer = DistilBertTokenizerFast.from_pretrained("osiria/distilbert-base-italian-cased") model = DistilBertModel.from_pretrained("osiria/distilbert-base-italian-cased") ```
