IndicBERTv2 is fine-tuned on Kannada SampurNER dataset for Fine-grained Named Entity Recognition. It is created using the EaMaTa framework, utilizing the Few-NERD dataset.
- SampurNER Paper: SampurNER in AAAI-2026
- SampurNER Dataset: datasets/prachuryyaIITG/SampurNER
The tagset of Few-NERD is a fine-grained tagset. The fine to coarse level mapping of the tags are as follows:
- Location : GPE, Body of Water, Island, Mountain, Park, Road/Transit, Other
- Person : Actor, Artist/Author, Athlete, Director, Politician, Scholar, Soldier, Other
- ORG : Company, Education, Government, Media, Political Party, Religion, Sports League, Show Organization, Other
- Building : Airport, Hospital, Hotel, Library, Restaurant, Sports Facility, Theater, Other
- Art : Music, Film, Written Art, Broadcast, Painting, Other
- Product : Airplane, Car, Food, Game, Ship, Software, Train, Weapon, Other
- Event : Attack, Election, Natural Disaster, Protest, Sports Event, Other
- Misc : Astronomy, Award, Biology, Chemistry, Currency, Disease, Educational Degree, God, Language, Law, Living Thing, Medical

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="Jude Bellingham joined Real Madrid in 2023.",
language="English"
)
print(result)
