## French NER in Flair (default model)
This is the standard 4-class NER model for French that ships with [Flair](https://github.com/flairNLP/flair/).
F1-Score: **90,61** (WikiNER)
Predicts 4 tags:
| **tag** | **meaning** |
|---------------------------------|-----------|
| PER | person name |
| LOC | location name |
| ORG | organization name |
| MISC | other name |
Based on [Flair embeddings](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/C18-1139/) and LSTM-CRF.

### Demo: How to use in Flair
Requires: **[Flair](https://github.com/flairNLP/flair/)** (`pip install flair`)
```python
from flair.data import Sentence
from flair.models import SequenceTagger
# load tagger
tagger = SequenceTagger.load("flair/ner-french")
# make example sentence
sentence = Sentence("George Washington est allé à Washington")
# predict NER tags
tagger.predict(sentence)
# print sentence
print(sentence)
# print predicted NER spans
print('The following NER tags are found:')
# iterate over entities and print
for entity in sentence.get_spans('ner'):
print(entity)
```
This yields the following output:
```
Span [1,2]: "George Washington" [− Labels: PER (0.7394)]
Span [6]: "Washington" [− Labels: LOC (0.9161)]
```
So, the entities "*George Washington*" (labeled as a **person**) and "*Washington*" (labeled as a **location**) are found in the sentence "*George Washington est allé à Washington*".

### Training: Script to train this model
The following Flair script was used to train this model:
```python
from flair.data import Corpus
from flair.datasets import WIKINER_FRENCH
from flair.embeddings import WordEmbeddings, StackedEmbeddings, FlairEmbeddings
# 1. get the corpus
corpus: Corpus = WIKINER_FRENCH()
# 2. what tag do we want to predict?
tag_type = 'ner'
# 3. make the tag dictionary from the corpus
tag_dictionary = corpus.make_tag_dictionary(tag_type=tag_type)
# 4. initialize each embedding we use
embedding_types = [
# GloVe embeddings
WordEmbeddings('fr'),
# contextual string embeddings, forward
FlairEmbeddings('fr-forward'),
# contextual string embeddings, backward
FlairEmbeddings('fr-backward'),
]
# embedding stack consists of Flair and GloVe embeddings
embeddings = StackedEmbeddings(embeddings=embedding_types)
# 5. initialize sequence tagger
from flair.models import SequenceTagger
tagger = SequenceTagger(hidden_size=256,
embeddings=embeddings,
tag_dictionary=tag_dictionary,
tag_type=tag_type)
# 6. initialize trainer
from flair.trainers import ModelTrainer
trainer = ModelTrainer(tagger, corpus)
# 7. run training
trainer.train('resources/taggers/ner-french',
train_with_dev=True,
max_epochs=150)
```
