# Model Card for German-Austrian Historical NER

<!-- Provide a quick summary of what the model is/does. -->

This token-classification model  aims to perform Named Entity Recognition on German-Austrian historical documents.
<br>The model has been trained using the tagged entities 10319 samples provided by https://nerdpool-api.acdh-dev.oeaw.ac.at/.
<br>The model has been trained to identify entities from the Minutes of the Austian Council of Ministries.

## Uses

<!-- Address questions around how the model is intended to be used, including the foreseeable users of the model and those affected by the model. -->
- Named Entity Recignition
### Direct Use 

  ```python
  from transformers import AutoTokenizer, AutoModelForTokenClassification, pipeline

  model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("demigrigo/mpr_bert_german_ner")
  tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("demigrigo/mpr_bert_german_ner")
  
  nlp = pipeline("token-classification", model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, aggregation_strategy="average") 
  
  text = "Ernennung FML. Peter Zaninis zum Kriegsminister" ##example sentence
  print(nlp(text))
  ```
