bert-base-multilingual-cased-place-entry-classification

This model is designed to classify geographic encyclopedia articles describing places. It is a fine-tuned version of the bert-base-multilingual-cased model. It has been trained on no-name-research/no-name-dataset, a manually annotated subset of the French Encyclopédie ou dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers par une société de gens de lettres (1751-1772) edited by Diderot and d'Alembert (provided by the ARTFL Encyclopédie Project).

Model Description

—Developed by: xxxxxxxxxxx
—Model type: Text classification
—Repository: xxxxxxxxxxxx
—Language(s) (NLP): French
—License: cc-by-nc-4.0

Class labels

The tagset is as follows (with examples from the dataset):

—City: villes, bourgs, villages, etc.
—Island: îles, presqu'îles, etc.
—Region: régions, contrées, provinces, cercles, etc.
—River: rivières, fleuves,etc.
—Mountain: montagnes, vallées, etc.
—Country: pays, royaumes, etc.
—Sea: mer, golphe, baie, etc.
—Other: promontoires, caps, rivages, déserts, etc.
—Human-made: ports, châteaux, forteresses, abbayes, etc.
—Lake: lacs, étangs, marais, etc.

Dataset

The model was trained using the no-name-research/no-name-dataset dataset. The dataset is splitted into train, validation and test sets which have the following distribution of entries among classes:

	Train	Validation	Test
City	921	33	40
Island	216	20	27
Region	138	40	28
River	133	20	28
Mountain	63	29	22
Human-made	38	10	9
Other	27	12	12
Sea	26	13	12
Lake	22	9	9
Country	16	14	13

How to Get Started with the Model

Use the code below to get started with the model.

python

import torch
from transformers import pipeline
device = torch.device("mps" if torch.backends.mps.is_available() else ("cuda" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu"))

pipe = pipeline("text-classification", model="no-name-research/multilingual-bert-place-type-classifier", truncation=True, device=device)

samples = [
    "* ALBI, (Géog.) ville de France, capitale de l'Albigeois, dans le haut Languedoc : elle est sur le Tarn. Long. 19. 49. lat. 43. 55. 44.",
    "* ARCALU (Principauté d') petit état des Tartares-Monguls, sur la riviere d'Hoamko, où commence  la grande muraille de la Chine, sous le 122e degré de longitude & le 42e de latitude septentrionale."
]


for sample in samples:
    print(pipe(sample))


# Output

[{'label': 'City', 'score': 0.9969543218612671}]
[{'label': 'Region', 'score': 0.9811353087425232}]

Bias, Risks, and Limitations

This model was trained entirely on French encyclopaedic entries classified as Geography (and place) and will likely not perform well on text in other languages or other corpora.
