# MUmairAB/bert-ner

The model training notebook is available on my [GitHub Repo](https://github.com/MUmairAB/BERT-based-NER-using-HuggingFace-Transformers/tree/main).

This model is a fine-tuned version of [bert-base-cased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-cased) on [Cnoll2003](https://huggingface.co/datasets/conll2003) dataset.
It achieves the following results on the evaluation set:
- Train Loss: 0.0003
- Validation Loss: 0.0880
- Epoch: 19

## How to use this model

```
#Install the transformers library
!pip install transformers

#Import the pipeline
from transformers import pipeline

#Import the model from HuggingFace
checkpoint = "MUmairAB/bert-ner"
model = pipeline(task="token-classification",
                 model=checkpoint)

#Use the model
raw_text = "My name is umair and i work at Swits AI in Antarctica."
model(raw_text)

```

## Intended uses & limitations

This model can be used for named entity recognition tasks. It is trained on [Conll2003](https://huggingface.co/datasets/conll2003) dataset. The model can classify four types of named entities:
1. persons,
2. locations,
3. organizations, and
4. names of miscellaneous entities that do not belong to the previous three groups.

## Training and evaluation data

The model is evaluated on [seqeval](https://github.com/chakki-works/seqeval) metric and the result is as follows:

```
