hebert-finetuned-hebrew-metaphor

The model is fine-tuned to determine if a word in a sentence is used metaphorically or literally.

The model was trained for the following verbs: לחלום, לחתוך, לעוף, לפרק, להדליק, לכבס, לכופף, לרסק, לבשל, למחוק, לקפוץ, לקרוע, לקצור, לרקוד, לשבור, לשדוד, לשתות, לטחון, לתפור, לזרוע

This model is a fine-tuned version of avichr/heBERT on HebrewMetaphors dataset. It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

• Loss: 0.4682
• Accuracy: 0.9510
