span-marker-bert-base-multilingual-cased-multinerd

This model is a fine-tuned version of bert-base-multilingual-cased on an Babelscape/multinerd dataset.

Is your data not (always) capitalized correctly? Then consider using the uncased variant of this model instead for better performance: lxyuan/span-marker-bert-base-multilingual-uncased-multinerd.

This model achieves the following results on the evaluation set:

  • Loss: 0.0049
  • Overall Precision: 0.9242
  • Overall Recall: 0.9281
  • Overall F1: 0.9261
  • Overall Accuracy: 0.9852

Quick test on Chinese

from span_marker import SpanMarkerModel

model = SpanMarkerModel.from_pretrained("lxyuan/span-marker-bert-base-multilingual-cased-multinerd")

# translate to chinese
description = "Singapore is renowned for its hawker centers offering dishes \
like Hainanese chicken rice and laksa, while Malaysia boasts dishes such as \
nasi lemak and rendang, reflecting its rich culinary heritage."

zh_description = "新加坡因其小贩中心提供海南鸡饭和叻沙等菜肴而闻名, 而马来西亚则拥有椰浆饭和仁当等菜肴,反映了其丰富的烹饪传统."

entities = model.predict(zh_description)
