SpanMarker for Named Entity Recognition

Note: Due to major tokenization limitations, this model is deprecated in favor of the much superior tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd model.

This is a SpanMarker model that can be used for multilingual Named Entity Recognition trained on the MultiNERD dataset. In particular, this SpanMarker model uses xlm-roberta-base as the underlying encoder. See train.py for the training script.

Usage

To use this model for inference, first install the span_marker library:

pip install span_marker

You can then run inference with this model like so:

from span_marker import SpanMarkerModel

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SpanMarkerModel.from_pretrained("tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd")
# Run inference
entities = model.predict("Amelia Earhart flew her single engine Lockheed Vega 5B across the Atlantic to Paris.")

See the SpanMarker repository for documentation and additional information on this library.
