# DanskBERT
This is DanskBERT, a Danish language model. Note that you should not prepend the mask with a space when using it directly!
The model is the best performing base-size model on the [ScandEval benchmark for Danish](https://scandeval.github.io/nlu-benchmark/).
DanskBERT was trained on the Danish Gigaword Corpus (Strømberg-Derczynski et al., 2021).
DanskBERT was trained using fairseq using the RoBERTa-base configuration. The model was trained with a batch size of 2k, and was trained to convergence for 500k steps using 16 V100 cards for approximately two weeks.
