# XLMRoBERTa for Khmer Language

Training from scratch using **Masked Language Modeling** task on 5M Khmer sentences or 162M words or 578K unique words for 1M steps.

Training data is created by crawling publicly available publicly news sites and Wikipedia.


## Why?

1. [xlm-roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base) is big. (279M parameters, while this is only 49M parameters).
2. [xlm-roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base) is not optimized for Khmer language.
3. [xlm-roberta-base](https://huggingface.co/FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-base) Vocab size is bigger (250,002) and this model uses 8000 vocab size.

## Usage


```python
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("fill-mask", "seanghay/xlm-roberta-khmer-small")

result = pipe("សួស្ដីកម្ពុ<mask>!")
print(result)
```

```python
