A french sequence to sequence pretrained model based on BART. BARThez is pretrained by learning to reconstruct a corrupted input sentence. A corpus of 66GB of french raw text is used to carry out the pretraining. Unlike already existing BERT-based French language models such as CamemBERT and FlauBERT, BARThez is particularly well-suited for generative tasks (such as abstractive summarization), since not only its encoder but also its decoder is pretrained. In addition to BARThez that is pretrained from scratch, we continue the pretraining of a multilingual BART mBART which boosted its performance in both discriminative and generative tasks. We call the french adapted version mBARThez.

AraBART is the first Arabic model in which the encoder and the decoder are pretrained end-to-end, based on BART. AraBART follows the architecture of BART-Base which has 6 encoder and 6 decoder layers and 768 hidden dimensions. In total AraBART has 139M parameters. AraBART achieves the best performance on multiple abstractive summarization datasets, outperforming strong baselines including a pretrained Arabic BERT-based models and multilingual mBART and mT5 models.
