Model description
The roberta-base-ca-cased-ner is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) model for the Catalan language fine-tuned from the BERTa model, a RoBERTa base model pre-trained on a medium-size corpus collected from publicly available corpora and crawlers (check the BERTa model card for more details).
Intended uses and limitations
How to use
pipe = pipeline("ner", model="projecte-aina/multiner_ceil")
example = "George Smith Patton fué un general del Ejército de los Estados Unidos en Europa durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. "
ner_entity_results = pipe(example, aggregation_strategy="simple")
print(ner_entity_results)
[{'entity_group': 'PER', 'score': 0.9983406, 'word': ' George Smith Patton', 'start': 0, 'end': 19}, {'entity_group': 'ORG', 'score': 0.99790734, 'word': ' Ejército de los Estados Unidos', 'start': 39, 'end': 69}, {'entity_group': 'LOC', 'score': 0.98424107, 'word': ' Europa', 'start': 73, 'end': 79}, {'entity_group': 'MISC', 'score': 0.9963934, 'word': ' Seg', 'start': 91, 'end': 94}, {'entity_group': 'MISC', 'score': 0.97889286, 'word': 'unda Guerra Mundial', 'start': 94, 'end': 113}]
Limitations and bias
At the time of submission, no measures have been taken to estimate the bias embedded in the model. However, we are well aware that our models may be biased since the corpora have been collected using crawling techniques on multiple web sources. We intend to conduct research in these areas in the future, and if completed, this model card will be updated.
Training
We used the NER dataset in Catalan called Ancora-ca-ner for training and evaluation.
Evaluation
We evaluated the roberta-base-ca-cased-ner on the Ancora-ca-ner test set against standard multilingual and monolingual baselines:
Model | Ancora-ca-ner (F1) |
---|---|
roberta-base-ca-cased-ner | 88.13 |
mBERT | 86.38 |
XLM-RoBERTa | 87.66 |
WikiBERT-ca | 77.66 |
