UniNER-7B-type-sup

Description: This model was trained on the combination of two data sources: (1) ChatGPT-generated Pile-NER-type data, and (2) 40 supervised datasets in the Universal NER benchmark (see Fig. 4 in paper), where we randomly sample 10K instances from the train split of each dataset. Note that CrossNER and MIT datasets are excluded from training for OOD evaluation.

Check our paper for more information. Check our repo about how to use the model.

Inference

The template for inference instances is as follows:

Note: Inferences are based on one entity type at a time. For multiple entity types, create separate instances for each type.
