## ParsBERT: Transformer-based Model for Persian Language Understanding |
|
|
|
ParsBERT is a monolingual language model based on Google’s BERT architecture with the same configurations as BERT-Base. |
|
|
|
Paper presenting ParsBERT: [arXiv:2005.12515](https://arxiv.org/abs/2005.12515) |
|
|
|
All the models (downstream tasks) are uncased and trained with whole word masking. (coming soon stay tuned) |

## Persian NER [ARMAN, PEYMA, ARMAN+PEYMA] |
|
|
|
This task aims to extract named entities in the text, such as names and label with appropriate `NER` classes such as locations, organizations, etc. The datasets used for this task contain sentences that are marked with `IOB` format. In this format, tokens that are not part of an entity are tagged as `”O”` the `”B”`tag corresponds to the first word of an object, and the `”I”` tag corresponds to the rest of the terms of the same entity. Both `”B”` and `”I”` tags are followed by a hyphen (or underscore), followed by the entity category. Therefore, the NER task is a multi-class token classification problem that labels the tokens upon being fed a raw text. There are two primary datasets used in Persian NER, `ARMAN`, and `PEYMA`. In ParsBERT, we prepared ner for both datasets as well as a combination of both datasets. |

|
### ARMAN |
|
|
|
ARMAN dataset holds 7,682 sentences with 250,015 sentences tagged over six different classes. |
|
|
|
1. Organization |
|
2. Location |
|
3. Facility |
|
4. Event |
|
5. Product |
|
6. Person |
