## ProcBERT
ProcBERT is a pre-trained language model specifically for procedural text. It was pre-trained on a large-scale procedural corpus (PubMed articles/chemical patents/cooking recipes) containing over 12B tokens and shows great performance on downstream tasks. More details can be found in the following [paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.04711):
