🚀 Quick Start

Installation

pip install transformers torch

Basic Usage

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification, pipeline

# Load model and tokenizer
model_name = "asmud/cahya-indonesian-ner-tuned"
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

# Create NER pipeline
ner_pipeline = pipeline(
    "ner",
    model=model,
    tokenizer=tokenizer,
    aggregation_strategy="simple"
)

# Example usage
text = "Presiden Joko Widodo menghadiri rapat di Gedung DPR pada 15 Januari 2024."
results = ner_pipeline(text)

for entity in results:
    print(f"Entity: {entity['word']}")
    print(f"Label: {entity['entity_group']}")
    print(f"Confidence: {entity['score']:.3f}")
    print("---")

Batch Processing

texts = [
    "Kementerian Kesehatan mengalokasikan dana sebesar 10 miliar rupiah.",
    "Gubernur Jawa Barat meresmikan Bandara Internasional Kertajati.",
    "Inflasi bulan ini mencapai 3.2 persen dari target tahunan."
]

# Process multiple texts
for i, text in enumerate(texts):
    print(f"Text {i+1}: {text}")
    results = ner_pipeline(text)
    for entity in results:
        print(f"  {entity['entity_group']}: {entity['word']} ({entity['score']:.3f})")
    print()

Custom Token Classification

import torch
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification

# Load model components
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)

def predict_entities(text):
    # Tokenize input
    inputs = tokenizer(text, return_tensors="pt", truncation=True, padding=True)
    
    # Get predictions
    with torch.no_grad():
        outputs = model(**inputs)
        predictions = torch.nn.functional.softmax(outputs.logits, dim=-1)
        predicted_labels = torch.argmax(predictions, dim=-1)
    
    # Convert predictions to labels
    tokens = tokenizer.convert_ids_to_tokens(inputs["input_ids"][0])
    labels = [model.config.id2label[label_id.item()] for label_id in predicted_labels[0]]
    
    # Combine tokens and labels
    results = [(token, label) for token, label in zip(tokens, labels) if token not in ['[CLS]', '[SEP]', '[PAD]']]
    
    return results

# Example usage
text = "Bank Indonesia menetapkan suku bunga 5.75 persen."
entities = predict_entities(text)
for token, label in entities:
    print(f"{token}: {label}")
