## Model Description



As part of the ITANONG project's 10 billion-token Tagalog dataset, we have introduced our initial pre-trained language models for Philippine languages. Our model suite encompasses various BERT-based, GPT-based, and Sentence Transformers tailored for Tagalog,Taglish and Cebuano.




## Training Details
This model was trained using an Nvidia V100-32GB GPU on DOST-ASTI Computing and Archiving Research Environment (COARE) - https://asti.dost.gov.ph/projects/coare/

### Training Data
The training dataset was compiled from both formal and informal sources, consisting of 194,001 instances from formal channels and 1,816,735 from informal sources. More information on pre-processing and training parameters on our paper
