# Spanish BERT (BETO) + NER

This model is a fine-tuned on [NER-C](https://www.kaggle.com/nltkdata/conll-corpora) version of the Spanish BERT cased [(BETO)](https://github.com/dccuchile/beto) for **NER** downstream task.

## Details of the downstream task (NER) - Dataset

- [Dataset:  CONLL Corpora ES](https://www.kaggle.com/nltkdata/conll-corpora) 

I preprocessed the dataset and split it as train / dev (80/20)

## Model in action

Fast usage with **pipelines**:

```python
from transformers import pipeline

nlp_ner = pipeline(
    "ner",
    model="mrm8488/bert-spanish-cased-finetuned-ner",
    tokenizer=(
        'mrm8488/bert-spanish-cased-finetuned-ner',  
        {"use_fast": False}
))

text = 'Mis amigos están pensando viajar a Londres este verano'

nlp_ner(text)

#Output: [{'entity': 'B-LOC', 'score': 0.9998720288276672, 'word': 'Londres'}]
