Nordic ELECTRA-Small

This model was pretrained on the following corpora:

• The Icelandic Gigaword Corpus (IGC)
• The Icelandic Common Crawl Corpus (IC3)
• The Icelandic Crawled Corpus (ICC)
• The Multilingual Colossal Clean Crawled Corpus (mC4) - Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish text obtained from .is, .no, .se and .dk domains, respectively

The total size of the corpus after document-level deduplication and filtering was 14.82B tokens, split equally between the four languages. The model was trained using a WordPiece tokenizer with a vocabulary size of 96,105 for one million steps with a batch size of 256, and otherwise with default settings.
