# LENU - Legal Entity Name Understanding for Spain

A Bert (multilingual uncased) model fine-tuned on spanish legal entity names (jurisdiction ES) from the Global [Legal Entity Identifier](https://www.gleif.org/en/about-lei/introducing-the-legal-entity-identifier-lei)
(LEI) System with the goal to detect [Entity Legal Form (ELF) Codes](https://www.gleif.org/en/about-lei/code-lists/iso-20275-entity-legal-forms-code-list).

## Model Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this model is. -->

The model has been created as part of a collaboration of the [Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation](https://gleif.org) (GLEIF) and
[Sociovestix Labs](https://sociovestix.com) with the goal to explore how Machine Learning can support in detecting the ELF Code solely based on an entity's legal name and legal jurisdiction.
See also the open source python library [lenu](https://github.com/Sociovestix/lenu), which supports in this task.

The model has been trained on the dataset [lenu](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Sociovestix), with a focus on spanish legal entities and ELF Codes within the Jurisdiction "ES".

# Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->

An entity's legal form is a crucial component when verifying and screening organizational identity.
The wide variety of entity legal forms that exist within and between jurisdictions, however, has made it difficult for large organizations to capture legal form as structured data.
The Jurisdiction specific models of [lenu](https://github.com/Sociovestix/lenu), trained on entities from
GLEIF’s Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) database of over two million records, will allow banks, 
investment firms, corporations, governments, and other large organizations to retrospectively analyze
their master data, extract the legal form from the unstructured text of the legal name and
uniformly apply an ELF code to each entity type, according to the ISO 20275 standard.
