A02 Supported Base Models

Florian Berding, Yuliia Tykhonova, Julia Pargmann, Andreas Slopinski, Elisabeth Riebenbauer, Karin Rebmann

All models created with ‘aifeducation’ do not need ‘sentencepiece’ even if this requirment is displayed in the table. ‘aifeducation’ uses a WordPieceTokenizer for all newly created models.
