# Fine-tuned Flair Model on French ICDAR-Europeana NER Dataset

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the
[French ICDAR-Europeana](https://github.com/stefan-it/historic-domain-adaptation-icdar)
NER Dataset using hmByT5 as backbone LM.

The ICDAR-Europeana NER Dataset is a preprocessed variant of the
[Europeana NER Corpora](https://github.com/EuropeanaNewspapers/ner-corpora) for Dutch and French.

The following NEs were annotated: `PER`, `LOC` and `ORG`.

# ⚠️ Inference Widget ⚠️

Fine-Tuning ByT5 models in Flair is currently done by implementing an own [`ByT5Embedding`][0] class.

This class needs to be present when running the model with Flair.

Thus, the inference widget is not working with hmByT5 at the moment on the Model Hub and is currently disabled.

This should be fixed in future, when ByT5 fine-tuning is supported in Flair directly.

# Results

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

* Batch Sizes: `[8, 4]`
* Learning Rates: `[0.00015, 0.00016]`

And report micro F1-score on development set:

| Configuration     | Run 1        | Run 2        | Run 3        | Run 4        | Run 5        | Avg.         |
|-------------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|

| bs8-e10-lr0.00016 | [0.7686][6]  | [0.7648][7]  | [0.7678][8]  | [0.7653][9]  | [0.7755][10] | 76.84 ± 0.38 |

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