Description
XLNet Model with a token classification head on top (a linear layer on top of the hidden-states output) e.g. for Named-Entity-Recognition (NER) tasks.
xlnet_large_token_classifier_conll03 is a fine-tuned XLNet model that is ready to use for Named Entity Recognition and achieves state-of-the-art performance for the NER task. This model has been trained to recognize four types of entities: location (LOC), organizations (ORG), person (PER), and Miscellaneous (MISC).
We used TFXLNetForTokenClassification to train this model and used XlnetForTokenClassification annotator in Spark NLP 🚀 for prediction at scale!
Predicted Entities
How to use
document_assembler = DocumentAssembler() \
.setInputCol('text') \
.setOutputCol('document')
tokenizer = Tokenizer() \
.setInputCols(['document']) \
.setOutputCol('token')
tokenClassifier = XlnetForTokenClassification \
.pretrained('xlnet_large_token_classifier_conll03', 'en') \
.setInputCols(['token', 'document']) \
.setOutputCol('ner') \
.setCaseSensitive(True) \
.setMaxSentenceLength(512)
# since output column is IOB/IOB2 style, NerConverter can extract entities
ner_converter = NerConverter() \
.setInputCols(['document', 'token', 'ner']) \
.setOutputCol('entities')
pipeline = Pipeline(stages=[
document_assembler,
tokenizer,
tokenClassifier,
ner_converter
])
example = spark.createDataFrame([['My name is John!']]).toDF("text")
result = pipeline.fit(example).transform(example)
val document_assembler = DocumentAssembler()
