# SpanMarker for Named Entity Recognition

This is a [SpanMarker](https://github.com/tomaarsen/SpanMarkerNER) model that can be used for Named Entity Recognition. In particular, this SpanMarker model uses [roberta-large](https://huggingface.co/roberta-large) as the underlying encoder. See [train.py](train.py) for the training script.

## Usage

To use this model for inference, first install the `span_marker` library:

```bash
pip install span_marker
```

You can then run inference with this model like so:

```python
from span_marker import SpanMarkerModel

# Download from the 🤗 Hub
model = SpanMarkerModel.from_pretrained("tomaarsen/span-marker-roberta-large-ontonotes5")
# Run inference
entities = model.predict("Amelia Earhart flew her single engine Lockheed Vega 5B across the Atlantic to Paris.")
```

See the [SpanMarker](https://github.com/tomaarsen/SpanMarkerNER) repository for documentation and additional information on this library.
