The existing German biomedical models either use older architectures or were trained on small amounts of data. The authors built ChristBERT, a family of RoBERTa-based models that extends the earlier GeistBERT. To compensate for the scarcity of German clinical… 2. **[SindBERT, the Sailor: Charting the Seas of Turkish NLP](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schmitt-2026-sindbert-sailor-charting-seas-turkish/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Turkish is a morphologically rich, agglutinative language. It already has several transformer encoders, but no RoBERTa model had been pre-trained at full scale. Earlier RoBERTa attempts used small batches and short schedules. The authors fill this gap with SindBERT, trained from scratch in base and large sizes on… 3. **[HalleluBERT: Let Every Token That Has Meaning Bear Its Weight](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schmitt-2026-hallelubert-let-every-token-that/)** *(2026)* The paper presents HalleluBERT, a RoBERTa-style encoder for Modern Hebrew in base (126M parameters) and large (357M) sizes, pre-trained from scratch on about 49.1 GB of deduplicated Hebrew web text (HeDC4) and Hebrew Wikipedia, with a 52k byte-level BPE vocabulary. ## Co-authors here 1 co-author with a page, the most papers together first. - [Stefan Schweter](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/stefan-schweter/) ## Venues Where their works here were published, the most works first, with the editions of those that have a page. - [Language Resources and Evaluation Conference (LREC)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/): [LREC 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/lrec/2026/) - [Workshop Natural Language Processing for Turkic Languages](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/sigturk/): [Workshop Natural Language Processing for Turkic Languages 2026](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/sigturk/2026/) ## Cited by Papers of our library cite their works 3 times (of the 149,439 papers whose bibliographies we read); [2 citing papers with a page here →](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/authors/raphael-schmitt/cited-by/).
