About

What transformers-ud-japanese-electra-ginza-510 is

This is an ELECTRA model pretrained on approximately 200M Japanese sentences extracted from the mC4 and finetuned by spaCy v3 on UD_Japanese_BCCWJ r2.8.

The base pretrain model is megagonlabs/transformers-ud-japanese-electra-base-discrimininator.

The entire spaCy v3 model is distributed as a python package named ja_ginza_electra from PyPI along with GiNZA v5 which provides some custom pipeline components to recognize the Japanese bunsetu-phrase structures. Try running it as below:

$ pip install ginza ja_ginza_electra
$ ginza

Using it via the API

Call it like any OpenAI endpoint

Once AxForge deploys transformers-ud-japanese-electra-ginza-510 for you, it answers on the OpenAI-compatible API — the same base URL and keys as every other model. (transformers-ud-japanese-electra-ginza-510 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":"transformers-ud-japanese-electra-ginza-510","input":"text to embed"}'
