# Model Card for Dutch Book Title Extraction

This Named Entity Recognition (NER) model is designed to extract book titles from Dutch texts.

## Model Details

The model has been fine-tuned and evaluated on a Dutch dataset consisting of 12,535 book reviews from the Leeuwarder Courant, identifying 23,529 book titles. The dataset utilizes the IO Tagging Schema. The data was divided into a training set (70%), validation set (15%), and test set (15%). Training involved the Majority or Minority loss function, achieving an F1 score of 84.3%, Precision of 83.4%, and Recall of 85.2% on the test set.

## Model Description

- **Model type:** XML-RoBERTa
- **Language(s):** Dutch
- **Fine-tuned from model:** [FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-large-finetuned-conll03-english](https://huggingface.co/FacebookAI/xlm-roberta-large-finetuned-conll03-english)

## Model Flaws
- Struggles with accurately identifying subtitles of book titles.
- When a book title is mentioned multiple times within the same review, the model tends to mark it only once, missing subsequent occurrences.

## Uses

This model is intended for extracting book titles from Dutch texts, particularly useful for applications involving text analysis in the literary domain.

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification, pipeline

# Load the model and tokenizer
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("nielsaxe/BookTitleNERDutch")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("nielsaxe/BookTitleNERDutch")

# Create a NER pipeline
nlp = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)

# Example usage
text = "Gisteren heb ik het boek Nijntje in de dierentuin gelezen. Ik kan niet anders zeggen dat dit boek fantastisch was!"
entities = nlp(text)
print(entities)
```
