# Fine-tuned Flair Model on AjMC English NER Dataset (HIPE-2022)

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the
[AjMC English](https://github.com/hipe-eval/HIPE-2022-data/blob/main/documentation/README-ajmc.md)
NER Dataset using hmBERT 64k as backbone LM.

The AjMC dataset consists of NE-annotated historical commentaries in the field of Classics,
and was created in the context of the [Ajax MultiCommentary](https://mromanello.github.io/ajax-multi-commentary/)
project.

The following NEs were annotated: `pers`, `work`, `loc`, `object`, `date` and `scope`.

# Results

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

* Batch Sizes: `[4, 8]`
* Learning Rates: `[3e-05, 5e-05]`

And report micro F1-score on development set:

| Configuration     | Seed 1       | Seed 2         | Seed 3       | Seed 4       | Seed 5       | Average         |
|-------------------|--------------|----------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|-----------------|
| `bs4-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.8565][1]  | [0.8592][2]    | [0.8513][3]  | [0.8622][4]  | [0.8534][5]  | 0.8565 ± 0.0044 |
| `bs4-e10-lr5e-05` | [0.8582][6]  | [**0.852**][7] | [0.8517][8]  | [0.8544][9]  | [0.842][10]  | 0.8517 ± 0.006  |
| `bs8-e10-lr5e-05` | [0.8412][11] | [0.8369][12]   | [0.853][13]  | [0.8392][14] | [0.85][15]   | 0.8441 ± 0.007  |
| `bs8-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.8483][16] | [0.8431][17]   | [0.8443][18] | [0.8486][19] | [0.8359][20] | 0.844 ± 0.0052  |
