About

What deberta is

Pretrained bidirectional encoder for russian language. The model was trained using standard MLM objective on large text corpora including open social data. See Training Details section for more information.

⚠️ This model contains only the encoder part without any pretrained head.

  • Developed by: deepvk
  • Model type: DeBERTa
  • Languages: Mostly russian and small fraction of other languages
  • License: Apache 2.0

How to Get Started with the Model

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModel

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("deepvk/deberta-v1-base")
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained("deepvk/deberta-v1-base")

text = "Привет, мир!"

inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors='pt')
predictions = model(**inputs)

Training Details

Training Data

400 GB of filtered and deduplicated texts in total. A mix of the following data: Wikipedia, Books, Twitter comments, Pikabu, Proza.ru, Film subtitles, News websites, and Social corpus.

Deduplication procedure
  1. Calculate shingles with size of 5
  2. Calculate MinHash with 100 seeds → for every sample (text) have a hash of size 100
  3. Split every hash into 10 buckets → every bucket, which contains (100 / 10) = 10 numbers, get hashed into 1 hash → we have 10 hashes for every sample
  4. For each bucket find duplicates: find samples which have the same hash → calculate pair-wise jaccard similarity → if the similarity is >0.7 than it's a duplicate
  5. Gather duplicates from all the buckets and filter

How it works

How embedding models work

Your textsentence / documentEncodermaps meaningVectorlist of numbersAn embedding model turns text into a vector, so similar meanings sit close together — the basis of search and RAG.

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys deberta for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (deberta below is illustrative; you get the exact model name on deployment.)

$ curl -sS https://api.axforge.ai/v1/embeddings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $AXFORGE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model":"deberta","input":"text to embed"}'
