# Fine-tuned Flair Model on French HIPE-2020 Dataset (HIPE-2022)

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the
[French HIPE-2020](https://github.com/hipe-eval/HIPE-2022-data/blob/main/documentation/README-hipe2020.md)
NER Dataset using hmBERT 64k as backbone LM.

The HIPE-2020 dataset is comprised of newspapers from mid 19C to mid 20C. For information can be found
[here](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1007/978-3-030-58219-7_21).

The following NEs were annotated: `loc`, `org`, `pers`, `prod`, `time` and `comp`.

# Results

We performed a hyper-parameter search over the following parameters with 5 different seeds per configuration:

* Batch Sizes: `[4, 8]`
* Learning Rates: `[3e-05, 5e-05]`

And report micro F1-score on development set:

| Configuration     | Seed 1       | Seed 2       | Seed 3          | Seed 4       | Seed 5       | Average         |
|-------------------|--------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|--------------|-----------------|

| `bs4-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.8279][6]  | [0.8364][7]  | [**0.8404**][8] | [0.8382][9]  | [0.8371][10] | 0.836 ± 0.0048  |

| `bs4-e10-lr5e-05` | [0.831][16]  | [0.8239][17] | [0.7784][18]    | [0.8313][19] | [0.8191][20] | 0.8167 ± 0.022  |
