nlpaueb · sec-bert-base

SEC-BERT is a family of BERT models for the financial domain, intended to assist financial NLP research and FinTech applications. SEC-BERT consists of the following models: * **SEC-BERT-BASE** (this model): Same architecture as BERT-BASE trained on financial documents. * **SEC-BERT-NUM**: Same as SEC-BERT-BASE but we replace every number token with a [NUM] pseudo-token handling all numeric expressions in a uniform manner, disallowing their fragmentation * **SEC-BERT-SHAPE**: Same as SEC-BERT-BASE but we replace numbers with pseudo-tokens that represent the number’s shape, so numeric expressions (of known shapes) are no longer fragmented, e.g., '53.2' becomes '[XX.X]' and '40,200.5' becomes '[XX,XXX.X]'. The model was pre-trained on 260,773 10-K filings from 1993-2019, publicly available at U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) * We created a new vocabulary of 30k subwords by training a BertWordPieceTokenizer from scratch on the pre-training corpus. * We trained BERT using the official code provided in Google BERT's GitHub repository . * We then used Hugging Face's Transformers conversion script to convert the TF checkpoint in the desired format in order to be able to load the model in two lines of code for both PyTorch and TF2 users. * We release a model similar to the English BERT-BASE model (12-layer, 768-hidden, 12-heads, 110M parameters). * We chose to follow the same training set-up: 1 million training steps with batches of 256 sequences of length 512 with an initial learning rate 1e-4. * We were able to use a single Google Cloud TPU v3-8 provided for free from TensorFlow Research Cloud (TRC), while also utilizing GCP research credits. Huge thanks to both Google programs for supporting us!

Frequently asked questions

Do open weights permit free commercial use?

Not necessarily. Check the version license, commercial conditions and usage policies. Self-hosting incurs compute and maintenance costs.

Are these real-time billing prices?

These are timestamped source snapshots, not live billing prices. Check the channel for current versions, regions, discounts and billing methods.
