Session Goal

The objective of this session was to optimize Named Entity Recognition (NER) processes using Transformer models, focusing on improving speed and accuracy.

Key Activities

• Selected and recommended smaller Transformer models like dbmdz/bert-base-cased-finetuned-conll03-english for NER tasks prioritizing speed and accuracy.
• Addressed subword tokenization issues impacting entity recognition, providing solutions for merging subwords and mapping unclear labels to meaningful entity types.
• Implemented code fixes to clean NER outputs by correcting unwanted labels and incorrect entity groupings.

Achievements

• Successfully identified and applied a suitable Transformer model for fast NER applications.
• Developed and implemented code solutions to improve NER output quality.

Pending Tasks

• Further testing of the implemented solutions in diverse datasets to ensure robustness and reliability.
