About

Fine-tune a language model for named entity recognition in a few simple steps:

1. Define a fine-tuning experiment by choosing a pretrained model and a dataset

experiment = Experiment("my_experiment", model="bert-base-cased", dataset="conll2003")

2. Run the experiment and get the performance of the fine-tuned model

experiment.run()
experiment.get_result(metric="f1", level="entity", phase="test")
# 0.9045

3. Use the fine-tuned model for inference

model = Model.from_experiment("my_experiment")
model.predict("The United Nations has never recognised Jakarta's move.")
# [[
#  {'char_start': '4', 'char_end': '18', 'token': 'United Nations', 'tag': 'ORG'},
#  {'char_start': '40', 'char_end': '47', 'token': 'Jakarta', 'tag': 'LOC'}
# ]]

There is much more to it than that! See the documentation to get started.
