rsuwaileh/IDRISI-LMR-EN-timebased-typebased

This model is a BERT-based Location Mention Recognition model that is adopted from the TLLMR4CM GitHub. The model identifies the toponyms' spans in the text and predicts their location types. The location type can be coarse-grained (e.g., country, city, etc.) and fine-grained (e.g., street, POI, etc.)

The model is trained using the training splits of all events from IDRISI-R dataset under the Type-based LMR mode and using the Time-based version of the data. You can download this data in BILOU format from here. More details about the models are available here.

Different variants of the model are available through HuggingFace:
Arabic models are also available:
