Model Card for GLiNER-large-v2

GLiNER is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) model capable of identifying any entity type using a bidirectional transformer encoder (BERT-like). It provides a practical alternative to traditional NER models, which are limited to predefined entities, and Large Language Models (LLMs) that, despite their flexibility, are costly and large for resource-constrained scenarios.

This version has been trained on the NuNER dataset (commercially permissive).

Available models

Installation

To use this model, you must install the GLiNER Python library:

!pip install gliner

Usage

Once you've downloaded the GLiNER library, you can import the GLiNER class. You can then load this model using GLiNER.from_pretrained and predict entities with predict_entities.

from gliner import GLiNER

model = GLiNER.from_pretrained("urchade/gliner_largev2")
