# SpanMarker for Named Entity Recognition
This is a [SpanMarker](https://github.com/tomaarsen/SpanMarkerNER) model that can be used for Named Entity Recognition. In particular, this SpanMarker model uses [xlm-roberta-large](https://huggingface.co/xlm-roberta-large) as the underlying encoder. See [train.py](train.py) for the training script.
## Usage
To use this model for inference, first install the `span_marker` library:
```bash
pip install span_marker
```
You can then run inference with this model like so:
```python
from span_marker import SpanMarkerModel
# Download from the πŸ€— Hub
model = SpanMarkerModel.from_pretrained("tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03")
# Run inference
entities = model.predict("Amelia Earhart flew her single engine Lockheed Vega 5B across the Atlantic to Paris.")
```
### Limitations
**Warning**: This model works best when punctuation is separated from the prior words, so
```python
# βœ…
model.predict("He plays J. Robert Oppenheimer , an American theoretical physicist .")
# ❌
model.predict("He plays J. Robert Oppenheimer, an American theoretical physicist.")
# You can also supply a list of words directly: βœ…
model.predict(["He", "plays", "J.", "Robert", "Oppenheimer", ",", "an", "American", "theoretical", "physicist", "."])
```
The same may be beneficial for some languages, such as splitting `"l'ocean Atlantique"` into `"l' ocean Atlantique"`.
See the [SpanMarker](https://github.com/tomaarsen/SpanMarkerNER) repository for documentation and additional information on this library.
