# Spanish TinyBERT + NER

This model is a fine-tuned on [NER-C](https://www.kaggle.com/nltkdata/conll-corpora) of a [Spanish Tiny Bert](https://huggingface.co/mrm8488/es-tinybert-v1-1) model I created using *distillation* for **NER** downstream task. The **size** of the model is **55MB**

## Details of the downstream task (NER) - Dataset

- [Dataset:  CONLL Corpora ES](https://www.kaggle.com/nltkdata/conll-corpora) 

I preprocessed the dataset and split it as train / dev (80/20)

| Dataset                | # Examples |
| ---------------------- | ----- |
| Train                  | 8.7 K |
| Dev                    | 2.2 K |

- Labels covered:

```
B-LOC

## Model in action


Example of usage:

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer

id2label = {
    "0": "B-LOC",
    "1": "B-MISC",
    "2": "B-ORG",
    "3": "B-PER",
    "4": "I-LOC",
    "5": "I-MISC",
    "6": "I-ORG",
    "7": "I-PER",
    "8": "O"
}

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('mrm8488/TinyBERT-spanish-uncased-finetuned-ner')
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained('mrm8488/TinyBERT-spanish-uncased-finetuned-ner')
text ="Mis amigos están pensando viajar a Londres este verano."
input_ids = torch.tensor(tokenizer.encode(text)).unsqueeze(0)

outputs = model(input_ids)
last_hidden_states = outputs[0]

for m in last_hidden_states:
  for index, n in enumerate(m):
    if(index > 0 and index <= len(text.split(" "))):
      print(text.split(" ")[index-1] + ": " + id2label[str(torch.argmax(n).item())])
      
'''
Output:
--------
Mis: O
amigos: O
están: O
pensando: O
viajar: O
a: O
Londres: B-LOC
este: O
verano.: O
