SDVM Multilingual NER — Refined
An XLM-RoBERTa-base model fine-tuned for Named Entity Recognition on the refined (cleaned) PAN-X.de dataset from the XTREME benchmark.
This model is part of a paired experiment by SDVM to demonstrate the impact of data quality on NER performance. Compare with SDVM/multilingual-ner-original, which was trained on uncleaned data.
Training Details
- Base model: xlm-roberta-base
- Dataset: SDVM/xtreme-PAN-X.de —
tokens_refinedandner_tags_refinedcolumns (cleaned) - Training: 3 epochs, batch size 8, learning rate 2e-5, weight decay 0.01
- Task: Token classification with IOB2 tags
Data Refinement
The refined dataset had ~8.5% Wikipedia markup noise removed:
- Bold/italic markers (
**,'') - Template and link brackets (
{{,}},[[,]]) - Section headers (
==,===) - German Wikipedia redirect tokens (
WEITERLEITUNG) - Embedded markup stripped from tokens
- B-/I- tag continuity repaired after token removal

Usage
from transformers import pipeline
ner = pipeline("token-classification", model="SDVM/multilingual-ner-refined")
result = ner("Angela Merkel wurde in Hamburg geboren.")
print(result)
Context
By removing Wikipedia markup artifacts from the training data, this model learns cleaner token representations and produces more reliable entity predictions. Compare its F1 score with the original model to see the impact of data refinement.
