bert-base-multilingual-cased-geography-entry-classification

This model is designed to classify geographic encyclopedia articles into Place, Person, or Other. It is a fine-tuned version of the bert-base-multilingual-cased model. It has been trained on no-name-dataset, a manually annotated subset of the French Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers par une société de gens de lettres (1751-1772) edited by Diderot and d'Alembert (provided by the ARTFL Encyclopédie Project).

Model Description

• Authors: xxxxxxxxxx
• Model type: Text classification
• Repository: xxxxxxxxxx
• Language(s) (NLP): French
• License: cc-by-nc-4.0

Class labels

The tagset is as follows:

• Place: encyclopedia entry describing the name of a place (such as a city, a river, a country, etc.)
• Person: encyclopedia entry describing the name of a people or community
• Other: encyclopedia entry describing any other type of entity (such as abstract geographic concepts, cross-references to other entries, etc.)

Dataset

The model was trained using the no-name-dataset dataset. The dataset is splitted into train, validation and test sets which have the following distribution of entries among classes:

	Train	Validation	Test
Place	1,800	225	225
Person	200	25	25
Misc	200	25	25

Evaluation

• Overall weighted-average model performances

	Precision	Recall	F-score
	0.980	0.978	0.979

• Model performances (Test set)

	Precision	Recall	F-score	Support
Place	0.99	0.98	0.99	225
Person	1.00	0.96	0.98	25
Other	0.83	0.96	0.89	25

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

import torch
from transformers import pipeline
device = torch.device("mps" if torch.backends.mps.is_available() else ("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"))

pipe = pipeline("text-classification", model="no-name-research/multilingual-bert-entry-type-classifier", truncation=True, device=device)

samples = [
    "* ALBI, (Géog.) ville de France, capitale de l'Albigeois, dans le haut Languedoc : elle est sur le Tarn. Long. 19. 49. lat. 43. 55. 44.",
    "MAEATAE, (Géogr. anc.) anciens peuples de l'île de la grande Bretagne ; ils étoient auprès du mur qui coupoit l'île en deux parties. Cambden ne doute point que ce soit le Nortumberland.",
    "APPONDURE, s. f. terme de riviere ; mot dont on se sert dans la composition d'un train ; c'est une portion  de perche employée pour fortifier le chantier lorsqu'il est trop menu."
]

for sample in samples:
    print(pipe(sample))

# Output
[{'label': 'Place', 'score': 0.9984742999076843}]
[{'label': 'Person', 'score': 0.9927592277526855}]
[{'label': 'Other', 'score': 0.9885557293891907}]

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

This model was trained entirely on French encyclopaedic entries classified as Geography and will likely not perform well on text in other languages or other corpora.
