Ettin-conll-ner-17m Model

NER Model | Open Source | 17M Parameters

Overview

Ettin-conll-ner-17m is based on the ettin-encoder-17M model and fine-tuned over the CoNLL2003 dataset. This model can detect four types of entities: Person (PER), Location (LOC), Organizations (ORG), and Miscellaneous (MISC).

Usage

# First install Hugging Face transformers library
!pip install transformers

# Initialize and run the PII detection pipeline to extract PII entities
from transformers import pipeline

## Initialize the PII detection pipeline
ner = pipeline("ner", model="kalyan-ks/ettin-conll-ner-17m", aggregation_strategy="simple")

input_text = "Kalyan KS is from India. His email id is kalyan.ks@yahoo.com"

## Run the PII detection to extract PII entities
pii_entities = ner(input_text)

## Process the extracted PII entities 
def format_pii_entities(entities, original_text):
    if not entities:
        return []

    merged_entities = []

    entities = sorted(entities, key=lambda x: x['start'])

    current_entity = {
        'start': entities[0]['start'],
        'end': entities[0]['end'],
        'label': entities[0]['entity_group'],
        'text': entities[0]['word']
    }

    for next_ent in entities[1:]:
        is_same_label = next_ent['entity_group'] == current_entity['label']
        is_adjacent = next_ent['start'] <= current_entity['end'] + 1

        if is_same_label and is_adjacent:
            current_entity['end'] = max(current_entity['end'], next_ent['end'])
            current_entity['text'] = original_text[current_entity['start']:current_entity['end']]
        else:
            merged_entities.append(clean_entity(current_entity))
            current_entity = {
                'start': next_ent['start'],
                'end': next_ent['end'],
                'label': next_ent['entity_group'],
                'text': next_ent['word']
            }

    merged_entities.append(clean_entity(current_entity))
    return merged_entities

def clean_entity(ent):

    raw_text = ent['text']
    stripped_text = raw_text.strip()
    leading_spaces = len(raw_text) - len(raw_text.lstrip())

    return {
        'start': ent['start'] + leading_spaces,
        'end': ent['start'] + leading_spaces + len(stripped_text),
        'text': stripped_text,
        'label': ent['label']
    }

# Display the extracted PII entities
formatted_entities = format_pii_entities(pii_entities, input_text)
print(formatted_entities)

# Output
[{'start': 0, 'end': 9, 'text': 'Kalyan KS', 'label': 'first_name'}, {'start': 18, 'end': 23, 'text': 'India', 'label': 'country'}, {'start': 41, 'end': 60, 'text': 'kalyan.ks@yahoo.com', 'label': 'email'}]
