In this section, we will fine-tune the Turkish BERT, namely BERTurk, to perform seven-class classification downstream tasks with a custom dataset. This dataset has been compiled from Turkish newspapers and consists of seven categories. We will start by getting the dataset. Alternatively, you can find it in this book's GitHub respository or get it from https://www.kaggle.com/savasy/ttc4900:
