+# DictaBERT: A State-of-the-Art BERT Suite for Modern Hebrew
+
+State-of-the-art language model for Hebrew, released [here](https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.16687).
+
+This is the fine-tuned BERT-base model for the named-entity-recognition task.
+
+For the bert-base models for other tasks, see [here](https://huggingface.co/collections/dicta-il/dictabert-6588e7cc08f83845fc42a18b).
+
+Sample usage:
+
+```python
+from transformers import pipeline
+oracle = pipeline('ner', model='dicta-il/dictabert-ner', aggregation_strategy='simple')
+# if we set aggregation_strategy to simple, we need to define a decoder for the tokenizer. Note that the last wordpiece of a group will still be emitted
+from tokenizers.decoders import WordPiece
+oracle.tokenizer.backend_tokenizer.decoder = WordPiece()
+sentence = '''דוד בן-גוריון (16 באוקטובר 1886 - ו' בכסלו תשל"ד) היה מדינאי ישראלי וראש הממשלה הראשון של מדינת ישראל.'''
+oracle(sentence)
+```
+
+Output:
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "entity_group": "PER",
+    "score": 0.9999443,
+    "word": "דוד בן - גוריון",
