This is the AWD-LSTM language model [1] trained on a subset of the Taiga corpus [2]. It can be used with vanilla PyTorch or with fast.ai [3] to get sentence representations for downstream linguistic tasks, such as text classification with ULMFit [4].

NOTE This model was trained a while back with an old version of fastai. If you want to use it with a newer (v1.5x+) version, run these lines before creating a learner:

config = awd_lstm_lm_config.copy()
config['n_hid'] = 1150

The model was trained for 10 epochs. The total number of tokens was 208,006,138, of which 10% were used for validation. Validation results are:
