NER in Urdu

muril_base_cased_urdu_ner_2.0

Besides the same base model and the NER dataset used for muril_base_cased_urdu_ner, I added a novel politics NER dataset translated from CrossNER. Since the additional dataset was small, the new labels may not be recognized effectively; however, the overall performance of recognizing the original 22 labels has increased compared to muril_base_cased_urdu_ner.

The base model is google/muril-base-cased, a BERT model pre-trained on 17 Indian languages and their transliterated counterparts. The main Urdu NER dataset is translated from the Hindi NER dataset from HiNER.

Usage

example:

from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("MichaelHuang/muril_base_cased_urdu_ner_2.0")
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("google/muril-base-cased")
