# CNN for Named Entity Recognition

This model is a CNN-based model for Named Entity Recognition (NER) built on top of a pre-trained transformer model.

## Model description

The model uses a pre-trained transformer as a base and adds convolutional layers on top for NER tasks.

## Intended uses & limitations

This model is intended for Named Entity Recognition tasks. It should be used on Yoruba text data.

## Usage

To use this model:

```python
from transformers import AutoTokenizer
from custom_modeling import get_model

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("your-username/your-model-name")
model = get_model("your-username/your-model-name")

# Load the saved weights
import torch
model.load_state_dict(torch.load("pytorch_model.bin"))

# Use the model for inference
inputs = tokenizer("Your text here", return_tensors="pt")
outputs = model(**inputs)
```
