+# IndicBERT
+
+IndicBERT is a multilingual ALBERT model pretrained exclusively on 12 major Indian languages. It is pre-trained on our novel monolingual corpus of around 9 billion tokens and subsequently evaluated on a set of diverse tasks. IndicBERT has much fewer parameters than other multilingual models (mBERT, XLM-R etc.) while it also achieves a performance on-par or better than these models.
+
+The 12 languages covered by IndicBERT are: Assamese, Bengali, English, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu.
+
+The code can be found [here](https://github.com/divkakwani/indic-bert). For more information, checkout our [project page](https://indicnlp.ai4bharat.org/) or our [paper](https://indicnlp.ai4bharat.org/papers/arxiv2020_indicnlp_corpus.pdf).
+
+
+
+## Pretraining Corpus
+
+We pre-trained indic-bert on AI4Bharat's monolingual corpus. The corpus has the following distribution of languages:
+
+
+| Language          | as     | bn     | en     | gu     | hi     | kn     |         |
+| ----------------- | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------ | ------- |
+| **No. of Tokens** | 36.9M  | 815M   | 1.34B  | 724M   | 1.84B  | 712M   |         |
+| **Language**      | **ml** | **mr** | **or** | **pa** | **ta** | **te** | **all** |
+| **No. of Tokens** | 767M   | 560M   | 104M   | 814M   | 549M   | 671M   | 8.9B    |
+
+
+
