arXiv:2012.02110v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Pre-trained language models have significantly advanced natural language processing (NLP), especially with the introduction of BERT and its optimized version, RoBERTa. While initial research focused on English, single-language models can be advantageous compared to multilingual ones in terms of pre-training effort, overall resource efficiency or downstream task performance. Despite the growing popularity of prompt-based LLMs, more compute-efficient BERT-like models remain highly relevant. In this work, we present the first German single-langu
The proliferation of powerful LLMs highlights the continuing relevance and specialized advantages of focused, resource-efficient language models for specific geographies and languages.
The development of single-language models like GottBERT signifies a strategic move towards digital self-sufficiency and optimized AI performance for non-English speaking regions, reducing reliance on 'global' models.
The explicit focus on single-language models acknowledges the limitations of multilingual large language models for certain applications and fosters localized AI development efforts.
