IndicBERTv2 is fine-tuned on the Bodo FiNERVINER dataset for Fine-grained Named Entity Recognition.
The tagset of MultiCoNER2 is a fine-grained tagset. The fine to coarse level mapping of the tags are as follows:
- Location (LOC) : Facility, OtherLOC, HumanSettlement, Station
- Creative Work (CW) : VisualWork, MusicalWork, WrittenWork, ArtWork, Software
- Group (GRP) : MusicalGRP, PublicCORP, PrivateCORP, AerospaceManufacturer, SportsGRP, CarManufacturer, ORG
- Person (PER) : Scientist, Artist, Athlete, Politician, Cleric, SportsManager, OtherPER
- Product (PROD) : Clothing, Vehicle, Food, Drink, OtherPROD
- Medical (MED) : Medication/Vaccine, MedicalProcedure, AnatomicalStructure, Symptom, Disease

Sample Usage
The AWED-FiNER agentic tool can be used to interact with expert models trained using this framework. Below is an example:
pip install smolagents gradio_client
from tool import AWEDFiNERTool
tool = AWEDFiNERTool(
space_id="prachuryyaIITG/AWED-FiNER"
)
result = tool.forward(
text="अमिताभ बच्चनआ सासे मुंदांखा फावखुंगुर।",
language="Bodo"
)
print(result)
