# ParsBERT (v2.0)
A Transformer-based Model for Persian Language Understanding
We reconstructed the vocabulary and fine-tuned the ParsBERT v1.1 on the new Persian corpora in order to provide some functionalities for using ParsBERT in other scopes!
Please follow the [ParsBERT](https://github.com/hooshvare/parsbert) repo for the latest information about previous and current models.
## Persian NER [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`.
### 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
