DictaBERT: A State-of-the-Art BERT Suite for Modern Hebrew
State-of-the-art language model for Hebrew, released here.
This is the fine-tuned BERT-base model for the named-entity-recognition task.
For the bert-base models for other tasks, see here.
Sample usage:
from transformers import pipeline
oracle = pipeline('ner', model='dicta-il/dictabert-ner', aggregation_strategy='simple')
# if we set aggregation_strategy to simple, we need to define a decoder for the tokenizer. Note that the last wordpiece of a group will still be emitted
from tokenizers.decoders import WordPiece
oracle.tokenizer.backend_tokenizer.decoder = WordPiece()
sentence = '''דוד בן-גוריון (16 באוקטובר 1886 - ו' בכסלו תשל"ד) היה מדינאי ישראלי וראש הממשלה הראשון של מדינת ישראל.'''
oracle(sentence)
Output:
[
{
"entity_group": "PER",
"score": 0.9999443,
"word": "דוד בן - גוריון",
"start": 0,
"end": 13
},
{
"entity_group": "TIMEX",
"score": 0.99987966,
"word": "16 באוקטובר 1886",
"start": 15,
"end": 31
},
{
"entity_group": "TIMEX",
"score": 0.9998579,
"word": "ו' בכסלו תשל\"ד",
"start": 34,

},
{

"score": 0.99963045,
"word": "וראש הממשלה",
"start": 68,
"end": 79
},
{
