## mLUKE

**mLUKE** (multilingual LUKE) is a multilingual extension of LUKE.

Please check the [official repository](https://github.com/studio-ousia/luke) for
more details and updates.

This is the mLUKE base model with 12 hidden layers, 768 hidden size. The total number
of parameters in this model is 279M.
The model was initialized with the weights of XLM-RoBERTa(base) and trained using December 2020 version of Wikipedia in 24 languages.

This model is a lite-weight version of [studio-ousia/mluke-base](https://huggingface.co/studio-ousia/mluke-base), without Wikipedia entity embeddings but only with special entities such as `[MASK]`.

## Note
When you load the model from `AutoModel.from_pretrained` with the default configuration, you will see the following warning:

```
Some weights of the model checkpoint at studio-ousia/mluke-base-lite were not used when initializing LukeModel: [
'luke.encoder.layer.0.attention.self.w2e_query.weight', 'luke.encoder.layer.0.attention.self.w2e_query.bias', 
'luke.encoder.layer.0.attention.self.e2w_query.weight', 'luke.encoder.layer.0.attention.self.e2w_query.bias', 
'luke.encoder.layer.0.attention.self.e2e_query.weight', 'luke.encoder.layer.0.attention.self.e2e_query.bias', 
...]
```

These weights are the weights for entity-aware attention (as described in [the LUKE paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2010.01057)).
This is expected because `use_entity_aware_attention` is set to `false` by default, but the pretrained weights contain the weights for it in case you enable `use_entity_aware_attention` and have the weights loaded into the model.
