About

What dictabert-seg is

State-of-the-art language model for Hebrew, released here.

This is the fine-tuned model for the prefix segmentation task.

For the bert-base models for other tasks, see here.

Sample usage:

from transformers import AutoModel, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('dicta-il/dictabert-seg')
model = AutoModel.from_pretrained('dicta-il/dictabert-seg', trust_remote_code=True)

model.eval()

sentence = 'בשנת 1948 השלים אפרים קישון את לימודיו בפיסול מתכת ובתולדות האמנות והחל לפרסם מאמרים הומוריסטיים'
print(model.predict([sentence], tokenizer))

Output:

[
	[
		[ "[CLS]" ],
		[ "ב","שנת" ],
		[ "1948" ],
		[ "השלים" ],
		[ "אפרים" ],
		[ "קישון" ],
		[ "את" ],
		[ "לימודיו" ],
		[ "ב","פיסול" ],
		[ "מתכת" ],
		[ "וב","תולדות" ],
		[ "ה","אמנות" ],
		[ "ו","החל" ],
		[ "לפרסם" ],
		[ "מאמרים" ],
		[ "הומוריסטיים" ],
		[ "[SEP]" ]

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys dictabert-seg for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (dictabert-seg 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":"dictabert-seg","input":"text to embed"}'
