Fine-tuned Flair Model on AjMC English NER Dataset (HIPE-2022)

This Flair model was fine-tuned on the AjMC English NER Dataset using hmByT5 as backbone LM.

The AjMC dataset consists of NE-annotated historical commentaries in the field of Classics, and was created in the context of the Ajax MultiCommentary project.

The following NEs were annotated: pers, work, loc, object, date and scope.

⚠️ Inference Widget ⚠️

Fine-Tuning ByT5 models in Flair is currently done by implementing an own ByT5Embedding class.

This class needs to be present when running the model with Flair.

Thus, the inference widget is not working with hmByT5 at the moment on the Model Hub and is currently disabled.

This should be fixed in future, when ByT5 fine-tuning is supported in Flair directly.

Results

We performed a hyper-parameter search over the following parameters with 5 different seeds per configuration:

Batch Sizes: [8, 4]
Learning Rates: [0.00015, 0.00016]

And report micro F1-score on development set:

Configuration	Run 1	Run 2	Run 3	Run 4	Run 5	Avg.
bs4-e10-lr0.00016	0.842	0.8548	0.8407	0.8431	0.8443	84.5 ± 0.51
bs4-e10-lr0.00015	0.8376	0.8343	0.8495	0.8394	0.837	83.96 ± 0.52
bs8-e10-lr0.00015	0.8172	0.8242	0.8217	0.8367	0.8323	82.64 ± 0.71
bs8-e10-lr0.00016	0.8178	0.8205	0.8126	0.8339	0.8264	82.22 ± 0.73

The training log and TensorBoard logs (only for hmByT5 and hmTEAMS based models) are also uploaded to the model hub.
