Reddit NER for place names

Fine-tuned bert-base-uncased for named entity recognition, trained using wnut_17 with 498 additional comments from Reddit. This model is intended solely for place name extraction from social media text, other entities have therefore been removed.

This model was created with two key goals:

Improved NER results on social media
Target only place names

Use in `transformers`

from transformers import pipeline

generator = pipeline(
    task="ner",
    model="cjber/reddit-ner-place_names",
    tokenizer="cjber/reddit-ner-place_names",
    aggregation_strategy="first",
)

out = generator("I live north of liverpool in Waterloo")

Out gives:

[{'entity_group': 'location',
  'score': 0.94054973,
  'word': 'liverpool',
  'start': 16,
  'end': 25},
 {'entity_group': 'location',
  'score': 0.99520856,
