## Uses

### Direct Use for Inference

```python
from span_marker import SpanMarkerModel

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SpanMarkerModel.from_pretrained("supreethrao/instructNER_conll03_xl")
# Run inference
entities = model.predict("Dong Jiong (China) beat Thomas Stuer-Lauridsen (Denmark) 15-10 15-6")
```

### Downstream Use
You can finetune this model on your own dataset.

```python
from span_marker import SpanMarkerModel, Trainer

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SpanMarkerModel.from_pretrained("supreethrao/instructNER_conll03_xl")

# Specify a Dataset with "tokens" and "ner_tag" columns
dataset = load_dataset("conll2003") # For example CoNLL2003

# Initialize a Trainer using the pretrained model & dataset
trainer = Trainer(
    model=model,
    train_dataset=dataset["train"],
    eval_dataset=dataset["validation"],
)
trainer.train()
trainer.save_model("supreethrao/instructNER_conll03_xl-finetuned")
```
