Fine-tuned Flair Model on French HIPE-2020 Dataset (HIPE-2022)

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the French HIPE-2020 NER Dataset using hmBERT as backbone LM.

The HIPE-2020 dataset is comprised of newspapers from mid 19C to mid 20C. For information can be found here.

The following NEs were annotated: loc, org, pers, prod, time and comp.

Results

We performed a hyper-parameter search over the following parameters with 5 different seeds per configuration:

And report micro F1-score on development set:

Configuration	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Avg.
bs4-e10-lr3e-05	0.8314	0.8377	0.8359	0.8214	0.8364	83.26 ± 0.6
bs8-e10-lr3e-05	0.83	0.8274	0.8358	0.8234	0.8327	82.99 ± 0.43
bs8-e10-lr5e-05	0.8301	0.8321	0.8267	0.8266	0.8308	82.93 ± 0.22
bs4-e10-lr5e-05	0.8181	0.8087	0.8239	0.8219	0.8224	81.9 ± 0.55

The training log and TensorBoard logs (only for hmByT5 and hmTEAMS based models) are also uploaded to the model hub.
