REDEWIEDERGABE Tagger: free indirect STWR

This model is part of an ensemble of binary taggers that recognize German speech, thought and writing representation. They can be used to automatically detect and annotate the following 4 types of speech, thought and writing representation in German texts:

STWR type	Example	Translation
direct	Dann sagte er: "Ich habe Hunger."	Then he said: "I'm hungry."
free indirect ('erlebte Rede', this tagger)	Er war ratlos. Woher sollte er denn hier bloß ein Mittagessen bekommen?	He was at a loss. Where should he ever find lunch here?
indirect	Sie fragte, wo das Essen sei.	She asked where the food was.
reported	Sie sprachen über das Mittagessen.	They talked about lunch.

The ensemble is trained on the REDEWIEDERGABE corpus (Annotation guidelines), fine-tuning each tagger on the domain-adapted lkonle/fiction-gbert-large. (Training Code)

F1-Scores:

STWR type	F1-Score
direct	90.76
indirect	79.16
free indirect (this tagger)	58.00
reported	70.47

Demo Usage:

from flair.data import Sentence
from flair.models import SequenceTagger


sentence = Sentence('Sie sprachen über das Mittagessen. Sie fragte, wo das Essen sei. Woher sollte er das wissen? Dann sagte er: "Ich habe Hunger."')

rwtypes = ['direct', 'indirect', 'freeindirect', 'reported']
for rwtype in rwtypes:
    model = SequenceTagger.load(f'aehrm/redewiedergabe-{rwtype}')
    model.predict(sentence)
    print(rwtype, [ x.data_point.text for x in sentence.get_labels() ])
# >>> direct ['"', 'Ich', 'habe', 'Hunger', '.', '"']
# >>> indirect ['wo', 'das', 'Essen', 'sei', '.']
# >>> freeindirect ['Woher', 'sollte', 'er', 'das', 'wissen', '?']
# >>> reported ['Sie', 'sprachen', 'über', 'das', 'Mittagessen', '.', 'Woher', 'sollte', 'er', 'das', 'wissen', '?']
