# Fine-tuned Flair Model on LeTemps French NER Dataset (HIPE-2022)

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the
[LeTemps French](https://github.com/hipe-eval/HIPE-2022-data/blob/main/documentation/README-letemps.md)
NER Dataset using hmBERT Tiny as backbone LM.

The LeTemps dataset consists of NE-annotated historical French newspaper articles from mid-19C to mid 20C.

The following NEs were annotated: `loc`, `org` and `pers`.

# Results

We performed a hyper-parameter search over the following parameters with 5 different seeds per configuration:

* Batch Sizes: `[4, 8]`
* Learning Rates: `[5e-05, 3e-05]`

And report micro F1-score on development set:

| Configuration     | Seed 1       | Seed 2          | Seed 3       | Seed 4       | Seed 5       | Average         |
|-------------------|--------------|-----------------|--------------|--------------|--------------|-----------------|
| `bs4-e10-lr5e-05` | [0.5297][1]  | [0.5073][2]     | [0.5106][3]  | [0.5111][4]  | [0.5282][5]  | 0.5174 ± 0.0107 |
| `bs4-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.5012][6]  | [**0.4703**][7] | [0.5019][8]  | [0.4857][9]  | [0.5072][10] | 0.4933 ± 0.0151 |
| `bs8-e10-lr5e-05` | [0.5027][11] | [0.4727][12]    | [0.5021][13] | [0.4912][14] | [0.4733][15] | 0.4884 ± 0.0148 |
| `bs8-e10-lr3e-05` | [0.489][16]  | [0.4226][17]    | [0.4656][18] | [0.4744][19] | [0.4511][20] | 0.4605 ± 0.0253 |
