Model and entities
roberta_classics_ner is a domain-specific RoBERTa-based model for named entity recognition in Classical Studies. It recognises bibliographical entities, such as:
| id | label | desciption | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 'O' | Out of entity | |
| 1 | 'B-AAUTHOR' | Ancient authors | Herodotus |
| 2 | 'I-AAUTHOR' | ||
| 3 | 'B-AWORK' | The title of an ancient work | Symposium, Aeneid |
| 4 | 'I-AWORK' | ||
| 5 | 'B-REFAUWORK' | A structured reference to an ancient work | Homer, Il. |
| 6 | 'I-REFAUWORK' | ||
| 7 | 'B-REFSCOPE' | The scope of a reference | II.1.993a30–b11 |
| 8 | 'I-REFSCOPE' | ||
| 9 | 'B-FRAGREF' | A reference to fragmentary texts or scholia | Frag. 19. West |
| 10 | 'I-FRAGREF' |
Example
B-AAUTHOR B-AWORK B-REFSCOPE
Homer 's Iliad opens with an invocation to the muse ( 1. 1).
Dataset
roberta_classics_ner was fine-tuned and evaluated on EpiBau, a dataset which has not been released publicly yet. It is composed of four volumes of Structures of Epic Poetry, a compendium on the narrative patterns and structural elements in ancient epic.
Entity counts of the Epibau dataset are the following:
| train-set | dev-set | test-set | |
|---|---|---|---|
| word count | 712462 | 125729 | 122324 |
| AAUTHOR | 4436 | 1368 | 1511 |
| AWORK | 3145 | 780 | 670 |
| REFAUWORK | 5102 | 988 | 1209 |
| REFSCOPE | 14768 | 3193 | 2847 |
| FRAGREF | 266 | 29 | 33 |
| total entities | 13822 | 1415 | 2419 |
Results
The model was developed in the context of experiments reported here.Trained and tested on EpiBau with a 85-15 split, the model yields a general F1 score of .82 (micro-averages). Detailed scores are displayed below. Evaluation was performed with the CLEF-HIPE-scorer, in strict mode)
| metric | AAUTHOR | AWORK | REFSCOPE | REFAUWORK |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F1 | .819 | .796 | .863 | .756 |
| Precision | .842 | .818 | .860 | .755 |
| Recall | .797 | .766 | .756 | .866 |
