The package contains Czech recordings of the Visual History Archive which consists of the interviews with the Holocaust survivors. The archive consists of audio recordings, four types of automatic transcripts, manual annotations of selected topics and interviews' metadata. The archive totally contains 353 recordings and 592 hours of interviews.
The FERNET-C5 is a monolingual BERT language representation model trained from scratch on the Czech Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus (C5) data - a Czech mutation of the English C4 dataset. The training data contained almost 13 billion words (93 GB of text data). The model has the same architecture as the original BERT model, i.e. 12 transformation blocks, 12 attention heads and the hidden size of 768 neurons. In contrast to Google’s BERT models, we used SentencePiece tokenization instead of the Google’s internal WordPiece tokenization.
