BERT based temporal tagged

Token classifier for temporal tagging of plain text using BERT language model. The model is introduced in the paper BERT got a Date: Introducing Transformers to Temporal Tagging and release in this repository.

Model description

BERT is a transformers model pretrained on a large corpus of English data in a self-supervised fashion. We use BERT for token classification to tag the tokens in text with classes:

O -- outside of a tag 
I-TIME -- inside tag of time 
B-TIME -- beginning tag of time
I-DATE -- inside tag of date 
B-DATE -- beginning tag of date
I-DURATION -- inside tag of duration 
B-DURATION -- beginning tag of duration
I-SET -- inside tag of the set 
B-SET -- beginning tag of the set

Intended uses & limitations

This model is best used accompanied with code from the repository. Especially for inference, the direct output might be noisy and hard to decipher, in the repository we provide alignment functions and voting strategies for the final output.

How to use

you can load the model as follows:

    tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("satyaalmasian/temporal_tagger_BERT_tokenclassifier", use_fast=False)
    model = BertForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("satyaalmasian/temporal_tagger_BERT_tokenclassifier")

for inference use:

processed_text = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt")
result = model(**processed_text)
classification= result[0]

for an example with post-processing, refer to the repository. We provide a function merge_tokens to decipher the output. to further fine-tune, use the Trainer from hugginface. An example of a similar fine-tuning can be found here.

#Training data We use 3 data sources: Tempeval-3, Wikiwars, Tweets datasets. For the correct data versions please refer to our repository.

#Training procedure The model is trained from publicly available checkpoints on huggingface (bert-base-uncased), with a batch size of 34. We use a learning rate of 5e-05 with an Adam optimizer and linear weight decay. We fine-tune with 5 different random seeds, this version of the model is the only seed=4. For training, we use 2 NVIDIA A100 GPUs with 40GB of memory.
