Fine-tuning Transformer-based Encoder for Turkish Language Understanding Tasks
Deep learning-based and lately Transformer-based language models have been dominating the studies of natural language processing in the last years. Thanks to their accurate and fast fine-tuning characteristics, they have outperformed traditional machine learning-based approaches and achieved state-of-the-art results for many challenging natural language understanding (NLU) problems. Recent studies showed that the Transformer-based models such as BERT, which is Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers, have reached impressive achievements on many tasks. Moreover, thanks to their transfer learning capacity, these architectures allow us to transfer pre-built models and fine-tune them to specific NLU tasks such as question answering. In this study, we provide a Transformer-based model and a baseline benchmark for the Turkish Language. We successfully fine-tuned a Turkish BERT model, namely BERTurk that is trained with base settings, to many downstream tasks and evaluated with a the Turkish Benchmark dataset. We showed that our studies significantly outperformed other existing baseline approaches for Named-Entity Recognition, Sentiment Analysis, Question Answering and Text Classification in Turkish Language. We publicly released these four fine-tuned models and resources in reproducibility and with the view of supporting other Turkish researchers and applications.
