+ # bert-base-NER-uncased
8
+
9
+ ## Model description
10
+
11
+ **bert-base-NER-uncased** is a fine-tuned BERT model that is ready to use for **Named Entity Recognition** and achieves **state-of-the-art performance** for the NER task. It has been trained to recognize four types of entities: location (LOC), organizations (ORG), person (PER) and Miscellaneous (MISC).
12
+
13
+ Specifically, this model is a *bert-base-cased-uncased* model that was fine-tuned on the English version of the standard [CoNLL-2003 Named Entity Recognition](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W03-0419.pdf) dataset.
14
+
15
+ If you'd like to use a larger BERT-large model fine-tuned on the same dataset, a [**bert-large-NER**](https://huggingface.co/dslim/bert-large-NER/) version is also available.
16
+
17
+
18
+ ## Intended uses & limitations
19
+
20
+ #### How to use
21
+
22
+ You can use this model with Transformers *pipeline* for NER.
23
+
24
+ ```python
25
+ from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification
26
+ from transformers import pipeline
27
+
28
+ tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dslim/bert-base-NER-uncased")
29
+ model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("dslim/bert-base-NER-uncased")
30
+
31
+ nlp = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
32
+ example = "My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin"
33
+
34
+ ner_results = nlp(example)
35
+ print(ner_results)
36
+ ```
37
+
38
+ #### Limitations and bias
39
+
40
+ This model is limited by its training dataset of entity-annotated news articles from a specific span of time. This may not generalize well for all use cases in different domains. Furthermore, the model occassionally tags subword tokens as entities and post-processing of results may be necessary to handle those cases.
41
+
42
+ ## Training data
43
+
44
+ This model was fine-tuned on English version of the standard [CoNLL-2003 Named Entity Recognition](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W03-0419.pdf) dataset.
45
+
46
+ The training dataset distinguishes between the beginning and continuation of an entity so that if there are back-to-back entities of the same type, the model can output where the second entity begins. As in the dataset, each token will be classified as one of the following classes:
47
+
48
+ Abbreviation|Description
49
+ -|-
50
+ O|Outside of a named entity
51
+ B-MIS |Beginning of a miscellaneous entity right after another miscellaneous entity
52
+ I-MIS | Miscellaneous entity
53
+ B-PER |Beginning of a person’s name right after another person’s name
54
+ I-PER |Person’s name
55
+ B-ORG |Beginning of an organization right after another organization
56
+ I-ORG |organization
57
+ B-LOC |Beginning of a location right after another location
58
+ I-LOC |Location
59

+ ### CoNLL-2003 English Dataset Statistics
62
+ This dataset was derived from the Reuters corpus which consists of Reuters news stories. You can read more about how this dataset was created in the CoNLL-2003 paper.

76
+ ## Training procedure
77
+
78
+ This model was trained on a single NVIDIA V100 GPU with recommended hyperparameters from the [original BERT paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1810.04805) which trained & evaluated the model on CoNLL-2003 NER task.
