Model description

Limitations and bias

This model is limited by its training dataset of entity-annotated news articles from a specific span of time. This may not generalize well for all use cases in different domains. Furthermore, the model occassionally tags subword tokens as entities and post-processing of results may be necessary to handle those cases.

How to use

You can use this model with Transformers pipeline for NER.

from transformers import pipeline
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Jorgeutd/bert-large-uncased-finetuned-ner")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("Jorgeutd/bert-large-uncased-finetuned-ner")
nlp = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
example = "My name is Scott and I live in Ohio"
ner_results = nlp(example)
print(ner_results)
