+# dv-wave
+
+This is a second attempt at a Dhivehi language model trained with
+Google Research's [ELECTRA](https://github.com/google-research/electra).
+
+Tokenization and pre-training CoLab: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1ZJ3tU9MwyWj6UtQ-8G7QJKTn-hG1uQ9v?usp=sharing
+
+Using SimpleTransformers to classify news https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1KnyQxRNWG_yVwms_x9MUAqFQVeMecTV7?usp=sharing
+
+V1: similar performance to mBERT on news classification task after finetuning for 3 epochs (52%)
+
+V2: fixed tokenizers ```do_lower_case=False``` and ```strip_accents=False``` to preserve vowel signs of Dhivehi
+  dv-wave: 89% to mBERT: 52%
+
+## Corpus
+
+Trained on @Sofwath's 307MB corpus of Dhivehi text: https://github.com/Sofwath/DhivehiDatasets - this repo also contains the news classification task CSV
+
+[OSCAR](https://oscar-corpus.com/) was considered but has not been added to pretraining; as of
+this writing their web crawl has 126MB of Dhivehi text (79MB deduped).
+
+## Vocabulary
