# SpanMarker for Named Entity Recognition

This is a [SpanMarker](https://github.com/tomaarsen/SpanMarkerNER) model that can be used for Named Entity Recognition. In particular, this SpanMarker model uses [prajjwal1/bert-tiny](https://huggingface.co/prajjwal1/bert-tiny) as the underlying encoder.

## Usage

To use this model for inference, first install the `span_marker` library:

```bash
pip install span_marker
```

You can then run inference as follows:

```python
from span_marker import SpanMarkerModel

# Download from Hub and run inference
model = SpanMarkerModel.from_pretrained("tomaarsen/span-marker-bert-tiny-conll03")
# Run inference
entities = model.predict("Amelia Earhart flew her single engine Lockheed Vega 5B across the Atlantic to Paris.")
```

See the [SpanMarker](https://github.com/tomaarsen/SpanMarkerNER) repository for documentation and additional information on this model framework.
