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

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the French HIPE-2020 NER Dataset using hmBERT Tiny as backbone LM.

The HIPE-2020 dataset is comprised of newspapers from mid 19C to mid 20C. For information can be found here.

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: [5e-05, 3e-05]

And report micro F1-score on development set:

Configuration	Seed 1	Seed 2	Seed 3	Seed 4	Seed 5	Average
bs4-e10-lr5e-05	0.5204	0.5597	0.5669	0.5394	0.5182	0.5409 ± 0.0222
bs8-e10-lr5e-05	0.4945	0.5457	0.5225	0.5068	0.493	0.5125 ± 0.022
bs4-e10-lr3e-05	0.4774	0.5395	0.5184	0.4849	0.4722	0.4985 ± 0.0291
bs8-e10-lr3e-05	0.4335	0.4814	0.4744	0.4443	0.456	0.4579 ± 0.0201

The training log and TensorBoard logs (not available for hmBERT Base model) are also uploaded to the model hub.
