Named Entity Recognition (NER) model for Portuguese

This is a NER model for Portuguese which uses the standard 'enamex' classes: LOC (geographical locations); PER (people); ORG (organizations); MISC (other entities).

The model is based on BERTimbau Base, which has been fine-tuned using a combination of available corpora (see [1] for details).

There is an alternative model trained using BERTimbau Large: bert-large-pt-ner-enamex.

It was trained with a batch size of 8 and a learning rate of 2e-5 during 3 epochs. It achieved the following results on the test set (Precision/Recall/F1): 0.913/0.918/0.915.
