# bertimbau-large-ner

This model card aims to simplify the use of the [portuguese Bert, a.k.a, Bertimbau](https://github.com/neuralmind-ai/portuguese-bert) for the Named Entity Recognition task. 

For this model card the we used the BERT-CRF (selective scenario, 5 classes) model available in the [ner_evalutaion](https://github.com/neuralmind-ai/portuguese-bert/tree/master/ner_evaluation) folder of the original Bertimbau repo.

## Usage

```
# Load model directly
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("marquesafonso/bertimbau-large-ner")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("marquesafonso/bertimbau-large-ner")

```

## Example

```
from transformers import pipeline

pipe = pipeline("ner", model="marquesafonso/bertimbau-large-ner", aggregation_strategy='simple')

sentence = "Acima de Ederson, abaixo de Rúben Dias. É entre os dois jogadores do Manchester City que se vai colocar Gonçalo Ramos no ranking de vendas mais avultadas do Benfica."

result = pipe([sentence])

print(f"{sentence}\n{result}")

# Acima de Ederson, abaixo de Rúben Dias. É entre os dois jogadores do Manchester City que se vai colocar Gonçalo Ramos no ranking de vendas mais avultadas do Benfica.
