</div>
SpanMarker is a framework for training powerful Named Entity Recognition models using familiar encoders such as BERT, RoBERTa and ELECTRA.
Built on top of the familiar [🤗 Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers) library, SpanMarker inherits a wide range of powerful functionalities, such as easily loading and saving models, hyperparameter optimization, automatic logging in various tools, checkpointing, callbacks, mixed precision training, 8-bit inference, and more.
<!--Tightly implemented on top of the [🤗 Transformers](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/) library, SpanMarker can take advantage of its valuable functionality.-->
<!-- like performance dashboard integration, automatic mixed precision, 8-bit inference-->
Based on the [PL-Marker](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2109.06067.pdf) paper, SpanMarker breaks the mold through its accessibility and ease of use. Crucially, SpanMarker works out of the box with many common encoders such as `bert-base-cased`, `roberta-large` and `bert-base-multilingual-cased`, and automatically works with datasets using the `IOB`, `IOB2`, `BIOES`, `BILOU` or no label annotation scheme.
Additionally, the SpanMarker library has been integrated with the Hugging Face Hub and the Hugging Face Inference API. See the SpanMarker documentation on [Hugging Face](https://huggingface.co/docs/hub/span_marker) or see [all SpanMarker models on the Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/models?library=span-marker).
Through the Inference API integration, users can test any SpanMarker model on the Hugging Face Hub for free using a widget on the [model page](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-bert-base-fewnerd-fine-super). Furthermore, each public SpanMarker model offers a free API for fast prototyping and can be deployed to production using Hugging Face Inference Endpoints.

## Pretrained Models
All models in this list contain `train.py` files that show the training scripts used to generate them. Additionally, all training scripts used are stored in the [training_scripts](training_scripts) directory.
These trained models have Hosted Inference API widgets that you can use to experiment with the models on their Hugging Face model pages. Additionally, Hugging Face provides each model with a free API (`Deploy` > `Inference API` on the model page).
These models are further elaborated on in my [thesis](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tomaarsen/SpanMarkerNER/main/thesis.pdf).
### FewNERD
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-bert-base-fewnerd-fine-super`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-bert-base-fewnerd-fine-super) is a model that I have trained in 2 hours on the finegrained, supervised [Few-NERD dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/DFKI-SLT/few-nerd). It reached a 70.53 Test F1, competitive in the all-time [Few-NERD leaderboard](https://paperswithcode.com/sota/named-entity-recognition-on-few-nerd-sup) using `bert-base`. My training script resembles the one that you can see above.
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-roberta-large-fewnerd-fine-super`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-roberta-large-fewnerd-fine-super) was trained in 6 hours on the finegrained, supervised [Few-NERD dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/DFKI-SLT/few-nerd) using `roberta-large`. It reached a 71.03 Test F1, reaching a new state of the art in the all-time [Few-NERD leaderboard](https://paperswithcode.com/sota/named-entity-recognition-on-few-nerd-sup).
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-fewnerd-fine-super`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-fewnerd-fine-super) is a multilingual model that I have trained in 1.5 hours on the finegrained, supervised [Few-NERD dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/DFKI-SLT/few-nerd). It reached a 68.6 Test F1 on English, and works well on other languages like Spanish, French, German, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Icelandic, Greek and many more.
### OntoNotes v5.0
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-roberta-large-ontonotes5`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-roberta-large-ontonotes5) was trained in 3 hours on the OntoNotes v5.0 dataset, reaching a performance of 91.54 F1. For reference, the current strongest spaCy model (`en_core_web_trf`) reaches 89.8 F1. This SpanMarker model uses a `roberta-large` encoder under the hood.
### CoNLL03
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03) is a SpanMarker model using `xlm-roberta-large` that was trained in 45 minutes. It reaches a state of the art 93.1 F1 on CoNLL03 without using document-level context. For reference, the current strongest spaCy model (`en_core_web_trf`) reaches 91.6.
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03-doc-context`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03-doc-context) is another SpanMarker model using the `xlm-roberta-large` encoder. It uses [document-level context](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/document_level_context.html) to reach a state of the art 94.4 F1. For the best performance, inference should be performed using document-level context ([docs](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/document_level_context.html#Inference)). This model was trained in 1 hour.
### CoNLL++
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conllpp-doc-context`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conllpp-doc-context) was trained in an hour using the `xlm-roberta-large` encoder on the CoNLL++ dataset. Using [document-level context](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/document_level_context.html), it reaches a very competitive 95.5 F1. For the best performance, inference should be performed using document-level context ([docs](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/document_level_context.html#Inference)).
### MultiNERD
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd) is a multilingual SpanMarker model using the `xlm-roberta-large` encoder trained on the huge [MultiNERD](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Babelscape/multinerd) dataset. It reaches a 91.31 F1 on all 10 training languages and 94.55 F1 on English only. The model can predict between 15 classes. For best performance, separate punctuation from your words as described [here](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd#limitations). Note that [`tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd) does not have this limitation and performs better.
* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd) is the successor of [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd). It's a multilingual SpanMarker model using `bert-base-multilingual-cased` trained on the [MultiNERD](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Babelscape/multinerd) dataset. It reaches a state-of-the-art 92.48 F1 on all 10 training languages and 95.18 F1 on English only. This model generalizes well to languages using the Latin and Cyrillic script.
## Using pretrained SpanMarker models with spaCy
All [SpanMarker models on the Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/models?library=span-marker) can also be easily used in spaCy. It's as simple as including 1 line to add the `span_marker` pipeline. See the [Documentation](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/spacy_integration.html) or [API Reference](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/api/span_marker.spacy_integration.html) for more information.
```python
import spacy
# Load the spaCy model with the span_marker pipeline component
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm", exclude=["ner"])
nlp.add_pipe("span_marker", config={"model": "tomaarsen/span-marker-roberta-large-ontonotes5"})
# Feed some text through the model to get a spacy Doc
text = """Cleopatra VII, also known as Cleopatra the Great, was the last active ruler of the \
Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt. She was born in 69 BCE and ruled Egypt from 51 BCE until her \
death in 30 BCE."""
doc = nlp(text)
# And look at the entities
print([(entity, entity.label_) for entity in doc.ents])
"""
[(Cleopatra VII, "PERSON"), (Cleopatra the Great, "PERSON"), (the Ptolemaic Kingdom of Egypt, "GPE"),
(69 BCE, "DATE"), (Egypt, "GPE"), (51 BCE, "DATE"), (30 BCE, "DATE")]
"""

This SpanMarker model uses a `roberta-large` encoder under the hood.\r\n\r\n### CoNLL03\r\n* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03) is a SpanMarker model using `xlm-roberta-large` that was trained in 45 minutes. It reaches a state of the art 93.1 F1 on CoNLL03 without using document-level context. For reference, the current strongest spaCy model (`en_core_web_trf`) reaches 91.6.\r\n* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03-doc-context`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conll03-doc-context) is another SpanMarker model using the `xlm-roberta-large` encoder. It uses [document-level context](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/document_level_context.html) to reach a state of the art 94.4 F1. For the best performance, inference should be performed using document-level context ([docs](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/document_level_context.html#Inference)). This model was trained in 1 hour.\r\n\r\n### CoNLL++\r\n* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conllpp-doc-context`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-large-conllpp-doc-context) was trained in an hour using the `xlm-roberta-large` encoder on the CoNLL++ dataset. Using [document-level context](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/document_level_context.html), it reaches a very competitive 95.5 F1. For the best performance, inference should be performed using document-level context ([docs](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/document_level_context.html#Inference)).\r\n\r\n### MultiNERD\r\n* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd) is a multilingual SpanMarker model using the `xlm-roberta-large` encoder trained on the huge [MultiNERD](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Babelscape/multinerd) dataset. It reaches a 91.31 F1 on all 10 training languages and 94.55 F1 on English only. The model can predict between 15 classes. For best performance, separate punctuation from your words as described [here](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd#limitations). Note that [`tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd) does not have this limitation and performs better.\r\n\r\n* [`tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-mbert-base-multinerd) is the successor of [`tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd`](https://huggingface.co/tomaarsen/span-marker-xlm-roberta-base-multinerd). It's a multilingual SpanMarker model using `bert-base-multilingual-cased` trained on the [MultiNERD](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Babelscape/multinerd) dataset. It reaches a state-of-the-art 92.48 F1 on all 10 training languages and 95.18 F1 on English only. This model generalizes well to languages using the Latin and Cyrillic script.\r\n\r\n## Using pretrained SpanMarker models with spaCy\r\nAll [SpanMarker models on the Hugging Face Hub](https://huggingface.co/models?library=span-marker) can also be easily used in spaCy. It's as simple as including 1 line to add the `span_marker` pipeline. See the [Documentation](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/notebooks/spacy_integration.html) or [API Reference](https://tomaarsen.github.io/SpanMarkerNER/api/span_marker.spacy_integration.html) for more information.\r\n```python\r\nimport spacy\r\n\r\n# Load the spaCy model with the span_marker pipeline component\r\nnlp = spacy.load(\"en_core_web_sm\", exclude=[\"ner\"])\r\nnlp.add_pipe(\"span_marker\", config={\"model\": \"tomaarsen/span-marker-roberta-large-ontonotes5\"})\r\n\r\n# Feed some text through the model to get a spacy Doc\r\ntext = \"\"\"Cleopatra VII, also known as Cleopatra the Great, was the last active ruler of the \\\r\nPtolemaic Kingdom of Egypt.
