Fine-tuned Flair Model on Dutch ICDAR-Europeana NER Dataset

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the Dutch ICDAR-Europeana NER Dataset using hmBERT Tiny as backbone LM.

The ICDAR-Europeana NER Dataset is a preprocessed variant of the Europeana NER Corpora for Dutch and French.

The following NEs were annotated: PER, LOC and ORG.

Results

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

And report micro F1-score on development set:

Configuration	Seed 1	Seed 2	Seed 3	Seed 4	Seed 5	Average
`bs4-e10-lr5e-05`	0.5572	0.5434	0.5984	0.5636	0.5674	0.566 ± 0.0203
`bs8-e10-lr5e-05`	0.5072	0.5287	0.5641	0.5438	0.5346	0.5357 ± 0.0208
`bs4-e10-lr3e-05`	0.519	0.471	0.5479	0.498	0.4977	0.5067 ± 0.0286
`bs8-e10-lr3e-05`	0.4817	0.4511	0.4956	0.4627	0.4715	0.4725 ± 0.0171

The training log and TensorBoard logs (not available for hmBERT Base model) are also uploaded to the model hub.
