## What is it?
This is a German BERT model fine-tuned for named entity recognition.

## Base model & training
This model is based on [bert-base-german-dbmdz-cased](https://huggingface.co/bert-base-german-dbmdz-cased) and has been fine-tuned
for NER on the training data from [GermEval2014](https://sites.google.com/site/germeval2014ner).

## Model results
The results on the test data from GermEval2014 are (entities only): 

| Precision | Recall | F1-Score |
|----------:|-------:|---------:|
|   0.817   |  0.842 |    0.829 |

## How to use

>>> from transformers import pipeline

>>> classifier = pipeline('ner', model="fhswf/bert_de_ner")
