Pre-trained PhoBERT models are the state-of-the-art language models for Vietnamese (Pho, i.e. "Phở", is a popular food in Vietnam):
- Two PhoBERT versions of "base" and "large" are the first public large-scale monolingual language models pre-trained for Vietnamese. PhoBERT pre-training approach is based on RoBERTa which optimizes the BERT pre-training procedure for more robust performance.
- PhoBERT outperforms previous monolingual and multilingual approaches, obtaining new state-of-the-art performances on four downstream Vietnamese NLP tasks of Part-of-speech tagging, Dependency parsing, Named-entity recognition and Natural language inference.
The general architecture and experimental results of PhoBERT can be found in our paper:

Note that we merged a slow tokenizer for PhoBERT into the maintransformersbranch. The process of merging a fast tokenizer for PhoBERT is in the discussion, as mentioned in this pull request. If users would like to utilize the fast tokenizer, the users might installtransformersas follows:
git clone --single-branch --branch fast_tokenizers_BARTpho_PhoBERT_BERTweet https://github.com/datquocnguyen/transformers.git
cd transformers
pip3 install -e .

In case the input texts are raw, i.e. without word segmentation, a word segmenter must be applied to produce word-segmented texts before feeding to PhoBERT. As PhoBERT employed the RDRSegmenter from VnCoreNLP to pre-process the pre-training data (including Vietnamese tone normalization and word and sentence segmentation), it is recommended to also use the same word segmenter for PhoBERT-based downstream applications w.r.t. the input raw texts.
pip install py_vncorenlp

# Automatically download VnCoreNLP components from the original repository
# and save them in some local machine folder
py_vncorenlp.download_model(save_dir='/absolute/path/to/vncorenlp')
# Load the word and sentence segmentation component
rdrsegmenter = py_vncorenlp.VnCoreNLP(annotators=["wseg"], save_dir='/absolute/path/to/vncorenlp')
text = "Ông Nguyễn Khắc Chúc đang làm việc tại Đại học Quốc gia Hà Nội. Bà Lan, vợ ông Chúc, cũng làm việc tại đây."
output = rdrsegmenter.word_segment(text)
print(output)
# ['Ông Nguyễn_Khắc_Chúc đang làm_việc tại Đại_học Quốc_gia Hà_Nội .', 'Bà Lan , vợ ông Chúc , cũng làm_việc tại đây .']
