Chinese RoBERTa-Base Model for NER

Model description

The model is used for named entity recognition. You can download the model either from the UER-py Modelzoo page (in UER-py format), or via HuggingFace from the link roberta-base-finetuned-cluener2020-chinese.

How to use

You can use this model directly with a pipeline for token classification :

>>> from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification,AutoTokenizer,pipeline
>>> model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained('uer/roberta-base-finetuned-cluener2020-chinese')
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained('uer/roberta-base-finetuned-cluener2020-chinese')
>>> ner = pipeline('ner', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
>>> ner("江苏警方通报特斯拉冲进店铺")

Training data

CLUENER2020 is used as training data. We only use the train set of the dataset.

Training procedure

The model is fine-tuned by UER-py on Tencent Cloud. We fine-tune five epochs with a sequence length of 512 on the basis of the pre-trained model chinese_roberta_L-12_H-768. At the end of each epoch, the model is saved when the best performance on development set is achieved.

python3 run_ner.py --pretrained_model_path models/cluecorpussmall_roberta_base_seq512_model.bin-250000 \
                   --vocab_path models/google_zh_vocab.txt \
                   --train_path datasets/cluener2020/train.tsv \
                   --dev_path datasets/cluener2020/dev.tsv \
                   --label2id_path datasets/cluener2020/label2id.json \
                   --output_model_path models/cluener2020_ner_model.bin \
                   --learning_rate 3e-5 --batch_size 32 --epochs_num 5 --seq_length 512 \
                   --embedding word_pos_seg --encoder transformer --mask fully_visible

Finally, we convert the pre-trained model into Huggingface's format:

python3 scripts/convert_bert_token_classification_from_uer_to_huggingface.py --input_model_path models/cluener2020_ner_model.bin \
                                                                             --output_model_path pytorch_model.bin \
                                                                             --layers_num 12
