Danish BERT (version 2, uncased) by Certainly (previously known as BotXO) finetuned for Named Entity Recognition on the DaNE dataset (Hvingelby et al., 2020) by Malte Højmark-Bertelsen.

Humongous amounts of credit needs to go to Certainly (previously known as BotXO), for pretraining the Danish BERT. For data and training details see their GitHub repository or this article. You can also visit their organization page on Hugging Face.

It is both available in TensorFlow and Pytorch format. The original TensorFlow version can be downloaded using this link.

Here is an example on how to load Danish BERT for token classification in PyTorch using the 🤗Transformers library:

from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("Maltehb/danish-bert-botxo-ner-dane")
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("Maltehb/danish-bert-botxo-ner-dane")
