How to use the Model

Using pipeline

from transformers import pipeline
import torch

# Initiate the pipeline
device = 0 if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu'
ner = pipeline("token-classification", "arnabdhar/bert-tiny-ontonotes", device=device)

# use the pipeline
input_text = "My name is Clara and I live in Berkeley, California."
results = ner(input_text)

Intended uses & limitations

This model is fine-tuned for Named Entity Recognition task and you can use the model as it is or can use this model as a base model for further fine tuning on your custom dataset.

The following entities were fine-tuned on: CARDINAL, DATE, PERSON, NORP, GPE, LAW, PERCENT, ORDINAL, MONEY, WORK_OF_ART, FAC, TIME, QUANTITY, PRODUCT, LANGUAGE, ORG, LOC, EVENT

Training and evaluation data

The dataset has 3 partitions, train, validation and test, all the 3 partitions were combined and then a 80:20 train-test split was made for finet uning process. The following ID2LABEL mapping was used.
