# Model description
**bert-base-uncased-swa** is a model based on the fine-tuned BERT base uncased model. It has been trained to recognize four types of entities:
- dates & time (DATE)
- Location (LOC)
- Organizations (ORG)
- Person (PER)
# Intended Use
- Intended to be used for research purposes concerning Named Entity Recognition for African Languages.
- Not intended for practical purposes.
# Training Data
This model was fine-tuned on the Swahili corpus **(swa)** of the [MasakhaNER](https://github.com/masakhane-io/masakhane-ner) dataset. However, we thresholded the number of entity groups per sentence in this dataset to 10 entity groups.
# Training procedure
This model was trained on a single NVIDIA P5000 from [Paperspace](https://www.paperspace.com)
#### Hyperparameters
- **Learning Rate:** 5e-5
- **Batch Size:** 32
- **Maximum Sequence Length:** 164
- **Epochs:** 30
# Evaluation Data
We evaluated this model on the test split of the Swahili corpus **(swa)** present in the [MasakhaNER](https://github.com/masakhane-io/masakhane-ner) with no thresholding.
# Metrics
- Precision
- Recall
- F1-score
# Limitations
- The size of the pre-trained language model prevents its usage in anything other than research.
- Lack of analysis concerning the bias and fairness in these models may make them dangerous if deployed into production system.
- The train data is a less populated version of the original dataset in terms of entity groups per sentence. Therefore, this can negatively impact the performance.
# Caveats and Recommendations
- The topics in the dataset corpus are centered around **News**. Future training could be done with a more diverse corpus.
# Results
Model Name| Precision | Recall | F1-score

**bert-base-uncased-swa**| 83.38 | 89.32 | 86.26
# Usage
```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification
from transformers import pipeline
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("arnolfokam/bert-base-uncased-swa")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("bert-base-uncased-swa")
nlp = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
example = "Wizara ya afya ya Tanzania imeripoti Jumatatu kuwa, watu takriban 14 zaidi wamepata maambukizi ya Covid-19."
ner_results = nlp(example)
print(ner_results)
