# Fine-tuned Flair Model on French ICDAR-Europeana NER Dataset

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the
[French ICDAR-Europeana](https://github.com/stefan-it/historic-domain-adaptation-icdar)
NER Dataset using hmBERT 64k as backbone LM.

The ICDAR-Europeana NER Dataset is a preprocessed variant of the
[Europeana NER Corpora](https://github.com/EuropeanaNewspapers/ner-corpora) for Dutch and French.

The following NEs were annotated: `PER`, `LOC` and `ORG`.

# Results

We performed a hyper-parameter search over the following parameters with 5 different seeds per configuration:

* Batch Sizes: `[4, 8]`
* Learning Rates: `[3e-05, 5e-05]`

And report micro F1-score on development set:

| Configuration     | Seed 1       | Seed 2       | Seed 3       | Seed 4          | Seed 5       | Average         |
|-------------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|-----------------|
| `bs4-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.7562][1]  | [0.7716][2]  | [0.7747][3]  | [0.7735][4]     | [0.774][5]   | 0.77 ± 0.0078   |
| `bs8-e10-lr5e-05` | [0.7669][6]  | [0.7605][7]  | [0.7691][8]  | [**0.7665**][9] | [0.7795][10] | 0.7685 ± 0.0069 |
| `bs8-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.7716][11] | [0.7642][12] | [0.7765][13] | [0.7629][14]    | [0.7657][15] | 0.7682 ± 0.0057 |
| `bs4-e10-lr5e-05` | [0.7139][16] | [0.7613][17] | [0.7536][18] | [0.7548][19]    | [0.7026][20] | 0.7372 ± 0.0269 |
