About

Transformer-based language models like BERT have had a game-changing impact on Natural Language Processing.

In order to utilize Hugging Face's publicly accessible pretrained models for Named Entity Recognition, one needs to retrain (or "fine-tune") them using labeled text.

nerblackbox makes this easy.

You give it

• a Dataset (labeled text)
• a Pretrained Model (transformers)

and you get

• the best Fine-tuned Model
• its Performance on the dataset

Installation

pip install nerblackbox
