xlm-roberta-large-ner-hrl

Model description

xlm-roberta-large-ner-hrl is a Named Entity Recognition model for 10 high resourced languages (Arabic, German, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Latvian, Dutch, Portuguese and Chinese) based on a fine-tuned XLM-RoBERTa large model. It has been trained to recognize three types of entities: location (LOC), organizations (ORG), and person (PER). Specifically, this model is a xlm-roberta-large model that was fine-tuned on an aggregation of 10 high-resourced languages

Intended uses & limitations

How to use

You can use this model with Transformers pipeline for NER.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification
from transformers import pipeline
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Davlan/xlm-roberta-large-ner-hrl")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("Davlan/xlm-roberta-large-ner-hrl")
nlp = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
example = "Nader Jokhadar had given Syria the lead with a well-struck header in the seventh minute."
ner_results = nlp(example)
print(ner_results)

Limitations and bias

This model is limited by its training dataset of entity-annotated news articles from a specific span of time. This may not generalize well for all use cases in different domains.

Training data

The training data for the 10 languages are from:

The training dataset distinguishes between the beginning and continuation of an entity so that if there are back-to-back entities of the same type, the model can output where the second entity begins. As in the dataset, each token will be classified as one of the following classes:

Training procedure

This model was trained on NVIDIA V100 GPU with recommended hyperparameters from HuggingFace code.
