ArabicTransformer: Efficient Large Arabic Language Model with Funnel Transformer and ELECTRA Objective

Pre-training Transformer-based models such as BERT and ELECTRA on a collection of Arabic corpora, demonstrated by both AraBERT and AraELECTRA, shows an impressive result on downstream tasks. However, pre-training Transformer-based language models is computationally expensive, especially for large-sc…
