## (BERT base) NER model in the legal domain in Portuguese (LeNER-Br)

**ner-bert-base-portuguese-cased-lenerbr** is a NER model (token classification) in the legal domain in Portuguese that was finetuned on 16/12/2021 in Google Colab from the model [BERTimbau base](https://huggingface.co/neuralmind/bert-base-portuguese-cased) on the dataset [LeNER_br](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lener_br) by using a NER objective.

Note: due to the small size of BERTimbau base and finetuning dataset, the model overfitted before to reach the end of training. Here are the overall final metrics on the validation dataset (*note: see the paragraph "Validation metrics by Named Entity" to get detailed metrics*):
  - **f1**: 0.8716487228203504
  - **precision**: 0.8559286898839138
  - **recall**: 0.8879569892473118
  - **accuracy**: 0.9755893153732458
  - **loss**: 0.1133928969502449
  
## Widget & APP

You can test this model into the widget of this page.

## Using the model for inference in production
````
# install pytorch: check https://pytorch.org/
# !pip install transformers 
from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

# parameters
model_name = "ner-bert-base-portuguese-cased-lenebr"
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

input_text = "EMENTA: APELAÇÃO CÍVEL - AÇÃO DE INDENIZAÇÃO POR DANOS MORAIS - PRELIMINAR - ARGUIDA PELO MINISTÉRIO PÚBLICO EM GRAU RECURSAL - NULIDADE - AUSÊNCIA DE IN- TERVENÇÃO DO PARQUET NA INSTÂNCIA A QUO - PRESENÇA DE INCAPAZ - PREJUÍZO EXISTENTE - PRELIMINAR ACOLHIDA - NULIDADE RECONHECIDA."

# tokenization
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, max_length=512, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
tokens = inputs.tokens()

# get predictions
outputs = model(**inputs).logits
predictions = torch.argmax(outputs, dim=2)

# print predictions
for token, prediction in zip(tokens, predictions[0].numpy()):
    print((token, model.config.id2label[prediction]))
````
You can use pipeline, too. However, it seems to have an issue regarding to the max_length of the input sequence.
````
!pip install transformers
import transformers
from transformers import pipeline

model_name = "ner-bert-base-portuguese-cased-lenebr"

ner = pipeline(
    "ner",
    model=model_name
) 

ner(input_text)
