This Flair model was fine-tuned on the AjMC English NER Dataset using hmBERT as backbone LM.

The AjMC dataset consists of NE-annotated historical commentaries in the field of Classics, and was created in the context of the Ajax MultiCommentary project.

The following NEs were annotated: pers, work, loc, object, date and scope.

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

And report micro F1-score on development set:

The training log and TensorBoard logs (only for hmByT5 and hmTEAMS based models) are also uploaded to the model hub.

More information about fine-tuning can be found here.

We thank Luisa März, Katharina Schmid and Erion Çano for their fruitful discussions about Historic Language Models.
