hmTEAMS

🤗

Historic Multilingual and Monolingual TEAMS Models. The following languages are covered:

  • English (British Library Corpus - Books)
  • German (Europeana Newspaper)
  • French (Europeana Newspaper)
  • Finnish (Europeana Newspaper, Digilib)
  • Swedish (Europeana Newspaper, Digilib)
  • Dutch (Delpher Corpus)
  • Norwegian (NCC Corpus)

Architecture

We pretrain a "Training ELECTRA Augmented with Multi-word Selection" (TEAMS) model:

hmTEAMS Overview

Results

We perform experiments on various historic NER datasets, such as HIPE-2022 or ICDAR Europeana. All details incl. hyper-parameters can be found here.

Small Benchmark

We test our pretrained language models on various datasets from HIPE-2020, HIPE-2022 and Europeana. The following table shows an overview of used datasets.

Inference Examples
This model does not have enough activity to be deployed to Inference API (serverless) yet. Increase its social visibility and check back later, or deploy to Inference Endpoints (dedicated) instead.
