+<h3>Model description</h3>
+This is a lightweight and uncased model for the <b>Italian</b> language, fine-tuned for <b>Named Entity Recognition</b> (<b>Person</b>, <b>Location</b>, <b>Organization</b> and <b>Miscellanea</b> classes) on the [WikiNER](https://figshare.com/articles/dataset/Learning_multilingual_named_entity_recognition_from_Wikipedia/5462500) dataset <b>[1]</b>, using <b>Blaze-IT</b> ([blaze-it](https://huggingface.co/osiria/blaze-it)) as a pre-trained model.
+<h3>Training and Performances</h3>
+The model is trained to perform entity recognition over 4 classes: <b>PER</b> (persons), <b>LOC</b> (locations), <b>ORG</b> (organizations), <b>MISC</b> (miscellanea, mainly events, products and services). It has been fine-tuned for Named Entity Recognition, using the WikiNER Italian dataset plus an additional custom dataset of manually annotated Wikipedia paragraphs.
+The model has been trained for 1 epoch with a constant learning rate of 1e-5.
+The 5-fold cross-validated performances on the test set are reported in the following table:
+| Recall | Precision | F1 |
+| ------ | ------ |  ------ |
+| 89.29  | 89.84 | 89.53 |
+The metrics have been computed at the token level and then macro-averaged over the 4 classes.
+Then, since WikiNER is an automatically annotated (silver standard) dataset, which sometimes contains imperfect annotations, an additional fine-tuning on ~3.500 manually annotated paragraphs has been performed.

+<h3>Limitations</h3>
+This model is mainly trained on Wikipedia, so it's particularly suitable for natively digital text from the world wide web, written in a correct and fluent form (like wikis, web pages, news, etc.). However, it may show limitations when it comes to chaotic text, containing errors and slang expressions
+(like social media posts) or when it comes to domain-specific text (like medical, financial or legal content).
