# IcelandicNER BERT

This model was fine-tuned on the MIM-GOLD-NER dataset for the Icelandic language. 
The [MIM-GOLD-NER](http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12537/42) corpus was developed at [Reykjavik University](https://en.ru.is/) in 2018–2020 that covered eight types of entities:

- Date
- Location
- Miscellaneous 
- Money
- Organization
- Percent
- Person
- Time

## How To Use
You use this model with Transformers pipeline for NER.

### Installing requirements

```bash
pip install transformers
```

### How to predict using pipeline

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification  # for pytorch
from transformers import TFAutoModelForTokenClassification  # for tensorflow
from transformers import pipeline


model_name_or_path = "m3hrdadfi/icelandic-ner-bert" 
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)  # Pytorch
# model = TFAutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name_or_path)  # Tensorflow

nlp = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
example = "Kristin manneskja getur ekki lagt frásagnir af Jesú Kristi á hilluna vegna þess að hún sé búin að lesa þær ."

ner_results = nlp(example)
print(ner_results)
```
