BERT Named Entity Recognition API

Created BERT Named Entity Relation(NER) API deployed on AWS ECR

Hugging Face model

Following Hugging face model was used : dslim/bert-base-NER 🚀

Model description

bert-base-NER is a fine-tuned BERT model that is ready to use for Named Entity Recognition and achieves state-of-the-art performance for the NER task. It has been trained to recognize four types of entities: location (LOC), organizations (ORG), person (PER) and Miscellaneous (MISC).

Specifically, this model is a bert-base-cased model that was fine-tuned on the English version of the standard CoNLL-2003 Named Entity Recognition dataset.

How to use

You can use this model with Transformers pipeline for NER.

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification
from transformers import pipeline

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("dslim/bert-base-NER")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("dslim/bert-base-NER")

nlp = pipeline("ner", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer)
example = "My name is Wolfgang and I live in Berlin"

ner_results = nlp(example)
print(ner_results)

This model was fine-tuned on English version of the standard CoNLL-2003 Named Entity Recognition dataset.

The training dataset distinguishes between the beginning and continuation of an entity so that if there are back-to-back entities of the same type, the model can output where the second entity begins. As in the dataset, each token will be classified as one of the following classes:

Streamlit integration

Following steps can be done to integrate the REST API response to get the UI on streamlit
