# herbert-base-ner

## Model description

**herbert-base-ner** is a fine-tuned HerBERT model that can be used for **Named Entity Recognition** .
It has been trained to recognize three types of entities: person (PER), location (LOC) and organization (ORG).

Specifically, this model is an [*allegro/herbert-base-cased*](https://huggingface.co/allegro/herbert-base-cased) model that was fine-tuned on the Polish subset of *wikiann* dataset.

It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Loss: 0.2006
- Precision: 0.8886
- Recall: 0.9059
- F1: 0.8972
- Accuracy: 0.9569


## Intended uses & limitations

#### How to use

You can use this model with Transformers *pipeline* for NER.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification
from transformers import pipeline
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("pietruszkowiec/herbert-base-ner")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("pietruszkowiec/herbert-base-ner")
nlp = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
example = "Nazywam się Grzegorz Jasiński, pochodzę ze Szczebrzeszyna"
ner_results = nlp(example)
print(ner_results)
```

    abstract = "The ambitious goal of this work is to develop a cross-lingual name tagging and linking framework for 282 languages that exist in Wikipedia. Given a document in any of these languages, our framework is able to identify name mentions, assign a coarse-grained or fine-grained type to each mention, and link it to an English Knowledge Base (KB) if it is linkable. We achieve this goal by performing a series of new KB mining methods: generating {``}silver-standard{''} annotations by transferring annotations from English to other languages through cross-lingual links and KB properties, refining annotations through self-training and topic selection, deriving language-specific morphology features from anchor links, and mining word translation pairs from cross-lingual links. Both name tagging and linking results for 282 languages are promising on Wikipedia data and on-Wikipedia data.",
