# XLM-R + NER

This model is a fine-tuned  [XLM-Roberta-base](https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.02116) over the 40 languages proposed in [XTREME](https://github.com/google-research/xtreme) from [Wikiann](https://aclweb.org/anthology/P17-1178). This is still an on-going work and the results will be updated everytime an improvement is reached. 

The covered labels are:
```
LOC
ORG
PER
O
```

## Reproduce the results
Download and prepare the dataset from the [XTREME repo](https://github.com/google-research/xtreme#download-the-data). Next, from the root of the transformers repo run:
```
cd examples/ner
python run_tf_ner.py \
--data_dir . \
--labels ./labels.txt \
--model_name_or_path jplu/tf-xlm-roberta-base \
--output_dir model \
--max-seq-length 128 \
--num_train_epochs 2 \
--per_gpu_train_batch_size 16 \
--per_gpu_eval_batch_size 32 \
--do_train \
--do_eval \
--logging_dir logs \
--mode token-classification \
--evaluate_during_training \
--optimizer_name adamw
```

## Usage with pipelines
```python
from transformers import pipeline

nlp_ner = pipeline(
    "ner",
    model="jplu/tf-xlm-r-ner-40-lang",
    tokenizer=(
        'jplu/tf-xlm-r-ner-40-lang',  
        {"use_fast": True}),
    framework="tf"
)
