(BERT large) NER model in the legal domain in Portuguese (LeNER-Br)
ner-bert-large-portuguese-cased-lenerbr is a NER model (token classification) in the legal domain in Portuguese that was finetuned on 20/12/2021 in Google Colab from the model pierreguillou/bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr on the dataset LeNER_br by using a NER objective.
Due to the small size of the finetuning dataset, the model overfitted before to reach the end of training. Here are the overall final metrics on the validation dataset (note: see the paragraph "Validation metrics by Named Entity" to get detailed metrics):
- f1: 0.9082022949426265
- precision: 0.8975220495590088
- recall: 0.9191397849462366
- accuracy: 0.9808310603867311
- loss: 0.1228889599442482
Check as well the base version of this model with a f1 of 0.893.
Note: the model pierreguillou/bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr is a language model that was created through the finetuning of the model BERTimbau large on the dataset LeNER-Br language modeling by using a MASK objective. This first specialization of the language model before finetuning on the NER task allows to get a better NER model.

Widget & App
You can test this model into the widget of this page.
Use as well the NER App that allows comparing the 2 BERT models (base and large) fitted in the NER task with the legal LeNER-Br dataset.
Using the model for inference in production
# install pytorch: check https://pytorch.org/
# !pip install transformers
from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch
# parameters
model_name = "pierreguillou/ner-bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr"
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)
input_text = "Acrescento que não há de se falar em violação do artigo 114, § 3º, da Constituição Federal, posto que referido dispositivo revela-se impertinente, tratando da possibilidade de ajuizamento de dissídio coletivo pelo Ministério Público do Trabalho nos casos de greve em atividade essencial."
# tokenization
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, max_length=512, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
tokens = inputs.tokens()
# get predictions
outputs = model(**inputs).logits
predictions = torch.argmax(outputs, dim=2)
# print predictions
for token, prediction in zip(tokens, predictions[0].numpy()):
print((token, model.config.id2label[prediction]))
You can use pipeline, too. However, it seems to have an issue regarding to the max_length of the input sequence.
!pip install transformers
import transformers
from transformers import pipeline
model_name = "pierreguillou/ner-bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr"
ner = pipeline(
"ner",
model=model_name
)
ner(input_text)
