# ERNIE-3.0-base-zh

## Introduction

ERNIE 3.0: Large-scale Knowledge Enhanced Pre-training for Language Understanding and Generation
More detail: https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.02137

## Released Model Info

This released pytorch model is converted from the officially released PaddlePaddle ERNIE model and 
a series of experiments have been conducted to check the accuracy of the conversion.

- Official PaddlePaddle ERNIE repo:https://paddlenlp.readthedocs.io/zh/latest/model_zoo/transformers/ERNIE/contents.html
- Pytorch Conversion repo:  https://github.com/nghuyong/ERNIE-Pytorch

## How to use
Then you can load ERNIE-3.0 model as before:
```Python
from transformers import BertTokenizer, ErnieForMaskedLM

tokenizer = BertTokenizer.from_pretrained("nghuyong/ernie-3.0-base-zh")
model = ErnieForMaskedLM.from_pretrained("nghuyong/ernie-3.0-base-zh")
```
