# camembert-ner: model fine-tuned from camemBERT for NER task.

## Introduction

[camembert-ner] is a NER model that was fine-tuned from camemBERT on wikiner-fr dataset.
Model was trained on wikiner-fr dataset (~170 634  sentences).
Model was validated on emails/chat data and overperformed other models on this type of data specifically. 
In particular the model seems to work better on entity that don't start with an upper case.


## How to use camembert-ner with HuggingFace

##### Load camembert-ner and its sub-word tokenizer :

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Jean-Baptiste/camembert-ner")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("Jean-Baptiste/camembert-ner")


##### Process text sample (from wikipedia)

from transformers import pipeline

nlp = pipeline('ner', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, grouped_entities=True)
nlp("Apple est créée le 1er avril 1976 dans le garage de la maison d'enfance de Steve Jobs à Los Altos en Californie par Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak et Ronald Wayne14, puis constituée sous forme de société le 3 janvier 1977 à l'origine sous le nom d'Apple Computer, mais pour ses 30 ans et pour refléter la diversification de ses produits, le mot « computer » est retiré le 9 janvier 2015.")
