# est-roberta-hist-ner

## Model description 

est-roberta-hist-ner is an [Est-RoBERTa](https://huggingface.co/EMBEDDIA/est-roberta) based model fine-tuned for named entity recognition in Estonian 19th century parish court records (for details, see [this repository](https://github.com/soras/vk_ner_lrec_2022)). 
The following types of entities are recognized: person names (PER), ambiguous locations-organizations (LOC_ORG), locations (LOC), organizations (ORG) and MISC (miscellaneous names).

## How to use 

Recommended usage of the model is with approriate pre- and postprocessing by EstNLTK. 
For an usage example, see this tutorial: [https://github.com/soras/vk\_ner\_lrec\_2022/blob/main/using\_bert\_ner\_tagger.ipynb](https://github.com/soras/vk_ner_lrec_2022/blob/main/using_bert_ner_tagger.ipynb)
