# Towards Robust Named Entity Recognition for Historic German

Based on [our paper](https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/W19-4312/)
we release a new model trained on the LFT dataset.

**Note:** We use BPEmbeddings instead of the combination of
Wikipedia, Common Crawl and character embeddings (as used in the paper),
so save space and training/inferencing time.
