## Model Specification
- This is a **baseline Twitter POS tagging model (with 95.21\% Accuracy)** on Tweebank V2's NER benchmark (also called `Tweebank-NER`), trained on the Tweebank-NER training data.
- For more details about the `TweebankNLP` project, please refer to this [our paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2201.07281.pdf) and [github](https://github.com/social-machines/TweebankNLP) page. 
- In the paper, it is referred as `HuggingFace-BERTweet (TB2)` in the POS table.

## How to use the model

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("TweebankNLP/bertweet-tb2_wnut17-ner")

model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("TweebankNLP/bertweet-tb2_wnut17-ner")
```
