TwHIN-BERT: A Socially-Enriched Pre-trained Language Model for Multilingual Tweet Representations

PRs Welcome arXiv

This repo contains models, code and pointers to datasets from our paper: TwHIN-BERT: A Socially-Enriched Pre-trained Language Model for Multilingual Tweet Representations. [PDF] [Model Database Models]

Overview

TwHIN-BERT is a new multi-lingual Tweet language model that is trained on 7 billion Tweets from over 100 distinct languages. TwHIN-BERT differs from prior pre-trained language models as it is trained with not only text-based self-supervision (e.g., MLM), but also with a social objective based on the rich social engagements within a Twitter Heterogeneous Information Network (TwHIN).

TwHIN-BERT can be used as a drop-in replacement for BERT in a variety of NLP and recommendation tasks. It not only outperforms similar models semantic understanding tasks such text classification), but also social recommendation tasks such as predicting user to Tweet engagement.

1. Pretrained Models

We initially release two pretrained TwHIN-BERT models (base and large) that are compatible wit the Model Database BERT models.

Model Size Download Link (🤗 Model Database)
TwHIN-BERT-base 280M parameters Twitter/TwHIN-BERT-base
TwHIN-BERT-large 550M parameters Twitter/TwHIN-BERT-large

To use these models in 🤗 Transformers:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('Twitter/twhin-bert-large')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('Twitter/twhin-bert-large')
inputs = tokenizer("I'm using TwHIN-BERT! #TwHIN-BERT #NLP", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
