# Catalan BERTa (RoBERTa-base) finetuned for Named Entity Recognition.

The **roberta-base-ca-cased-pos** is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) model for the Catalan language fine-tuned from the [BERTa](https://huggingface.co/PlanTL-GOB-ES/roberta-base-ca) model, a [RoBERTa](https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.11692) base model pre-trained on a medium-size corpus collected from publicly available corpora and crawlers (check the BERTa model card for more details).

## Datasets
We used the POS dataset in Catalan from the [Universal Dependencies Treebank](https://huggingface.co/datasets/universal_dependencies) we refer to _Ancora-ca-pos_ for training and evaluation.

## Evaluation and results
We evaluated the _roberta-base-ca-cased-tc_ on the Ancora-ca-ner test set against standard multilingual and monolingual baselines:

| Model        | Ancora-ca-pos (F1)   | 
| ------------|:-------------|
| roberta-base-ca-cased-pos |**98.93** |
| mBERT       | 98.82 |
| XLM-RoBERTa | 98.89 | 
| WikiBERT-ca | 97.60 | 

For more details, check the fine-tuning and evaluation scripts in the official [GitHub repository](https://github.com/projecte-aina/berta).
