The NewsEye dataset is comprised of diachronic historical newspaper material published between 1850 and 1950 in French, German, Finnish, and Swedish. More information can be found [here](https://dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.1145/3404835.3463255). The following NEs were annotated: `PER`, `LOC`, `ORG` and `HumanProd`. # 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` | [0.5782][1] | [0.5584][2] | [0.5555][3] | [0.5685][4] | [0.5422][5] | 0.5606 ± 0.0136 | | `bs8-e10-lr5e-05` | [0.5486][6] | [0.5273][7] | [0.5282][8] | [**0.5288**][9] | [0.5067][10] | 0.5279 ± 0.0148 | | `bs4-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.5251][11] | [0.5103][12] | [0.5041][13] | [0.5124][14] | [0.479][15] | 0.5062 ± 0.017 | | `bs8-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.4815][16] | [0.4879][17] | [0.4783][18] | [0.4648][19] | [0.4628][20] | 0.4751 ± 0.0109 | [1]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-1 [2]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-2 [3]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-3 [4]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-4 [5]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-5 [6]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-1 [7]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-2 [8]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-3 [9]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-4 [10]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr5e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-5 [11]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-1 [12]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-2 [13]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-3 [14]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-4 [15]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs4-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-5 [16]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-1 [17]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-2 [18]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-3 [19]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-4 [20]: https://hf.co/stefan-it/hmbench-newseye-fr-hmbert_tiny-bs8-wsFalse-e10-lr3e-05-poolingfirst-layers-1-crfFalse-5 The [training log](training.log) and TensorBoard logs (not available for hmBERT Base model) are also uploaded to the model hub.
