Fine-tuned Flair Model on TopRes19th English NER Dataset (HIPE-2022)

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the TopRes19th English NER Dataset using hmBERT as backbone LM.

The TopRes19th dataset consists of NE-annotated historical English newspaper articles from 19C.

The following NEs were annotated: BUILDING, LOC and STREET.

Results

We performed a hyper-parameter search over the following parameters with 5 different seeds per configuration:

• Batch Sizes: [8, 4]
• Learning Rates: [3e-05, 5e-05]

And report micro F1-score on development set:

Configuration	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Avg.
bs8-e10-lr3e-05	0.8024	0.7936	0.8083	0.8042	0.8122	80.41 ± 0.63
bs4-e10-lr3e-05	0.791	0.8143	0.8017	0.8065	0.8065	80.4 ± 0.77
bs8-e10-lr5e-05	0.7974	0.7983	0.8092	0.8094	0.7828	79.94 ± 0.98
bs4-e10-lr5e-05	0.8058	0.7966	0.8033	0.7889	0.786	79.61 ± 0.77

The training log and TensorBoard logs (only for hmByT5 and hmTEAMS based models) are also uploaded to the model hub.
