With The Availability Of Data And The Development Of Processing
Technologies (Such As GPUs, TPUs, ...), We Witness A Great Increasing
Success Of Machine And Deep Learning Algorithms, Which Has Marked The
Renewal Of AI And Opened Its New Era. The Success Of Deep Learning
Algorithms In General And Transformers In Particular Has Greatly
Boosted NLP Tasks And Changed The Landscape Of The Field Which Has
Never Been Fruitful As Today Both In The Monolingual And The
Multilingual Dimension. In This Context, CERIST Proposes This NLP
