NERmembert-large-4entities

Model Description

We present NERmembert-large-4entities , which is a CamemBERT large fine-tuned for the Name Entity Recognition task for the French language on four French NER datasets for 4 entities (LOC, PER, ORG, MISC).
All these datasets were concatenated and cleaned into a single dataset that we called frenchNER_4entities .
There are a total of 384,773 rows, of which 328,757 are for training, 24,131 for validation and 31,885 for testing.
Our methodology is described in a blog post available in English or French .

Dataset

The dataset used is frenchNER_4entities , which represents ~385k sentences labeled in 4 categories:

The distribution of the entities is as follows:

Splits	O	PER	LOC	ORG	MISC
train	7,539,692	307,144	286,746	127,089	799,494
validation	544,580	24,034	21,585	5,927	18,221
test	720,623	32,870	29,683	7,911	21,760

Evaluation results

The evaluation was carried out using the evaluate python package.

"Le dévoilement du logo officiel des JO s'est déroulé le 21 octobre 2019 au Grand Rex. Ce nouvel emblème et cette nouvelle typographie ont été conçus par le designer Sylvain Boyer avec les agences Royalties & Ecobranding. Rond, il rassemble trois symboles : une médaille d'or, la flamme olympique et Marianne, symbolisée par un visage de femme mais privée de son bonnet phrygien caractéristique. La typographie dessinée fait référence à l'Art déco, mouvement artistique des années 1920, décennie pendant laquelle ont eu lieu pour la dernière fois les Jeux olympiques à Paris en 1924. Pour la première fois, ce logo sera unique pour les Jeux olympiques et les Jeux paralympiques."
