NERmembert-base-3entities

Model Description

We present NERmembert-base-3entities, which is a CamemBERT base fine-tuned for the Name Entity Recognition task for the French language on five French NER datasets for 3 entities (LOC, PER, ORG).
All these datasets were concatenated and cleaned into a single dataset that we called frenchNER_3entities.
This represents a total of over 420,264 rows, of which 346,071 are for training, 32,951 for validation and 41,242 for testing.
Our methodology is described in a blog post available in English or French.

Dataset

The dataset used is frenchNER_3entities, which represents ~420k sentences labeled in 4 categories:

The distribution of the entities is as follows:

Evaluation results

The evaluation was carried out using the evaluate python package.

Usage

Code

from transformers import pipeline

ner = pipeline('token-classification', model='CATIE-AQ/NERmembert-base-3entities', tokenizer='CATIE-AQ/NERmembert-base-3entities', aggregation_strategy="simple")

result = ner(
"Le dévoilement du logo officiel des JO s'est déroulé le 21 octobre 2019 au Grand Rex. Ce nouvel emblème et cette nouvelle typographie ont été conçus par le designer Sylvain Boyer avec les agences Royalties & Ecobranding. Rond, il rassemble trois symboles : une médaille d'or, la flamme olympique et Marianne, symbolisée par un visage de femme mais privée de son bonnet phrygien caractéristique. La typographie dessinée fait référence à l'Art déco, mouvement artistique des années 1920, décennie pendant laquelle ont eu lieu pour la dernière fois les Jeux olympiques à Paris en 1924. Pour la première fois, ce logo sera unique pour les Jeux olympiques et les Jeux paralympiques."

Training procedure

Training hyperparameters

The following hyperparameters were used during training:

• learning_rate: 2e-05
• train_batch_size: 8
• eval_batch_size: 8
• seed: 42
• optimizer: Adam with betas=(0.9,0.999) and epsilon=1e-08
• lr_scheduler_type: linear
• num_epochs: 3

Training results

Framework versions

• Transformers 4.36.0
• Pytorch 2.1.1
• Datasets 2.14.7
• Tokenizers 0.15.0

Environmental Impact

Carbon emissions were estimated using the Machine Learning Impact calculator presented in Lacoste et al. (2019). The hardware, runtime, cloud provider, and compute region were utilized to estimate the carbon impact.

• Hardware Type: A100 PCIe 40/80GB
• Hours used: 1h45min
• Cloud Provider: Private Infrastructure
• Carbon Efficiency (kg/kWh): 0.079 (estimated from electricitymaps for the day of December 15, 2023.)
• Carbon Emitted (Power consumption x Time x Carbon produced based on location of power grid): 0.035 kg eq. CO2
