base on Generalist and Lightweight Model for Named Entity Recognition (Extract any entity types from texts) @ NAACL 2024 # 👑 GLiNER: Generalist and Lightweight Model for Named Entity Recognition GLiNER is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) model capable of identifying any entity type using a bidirectional transformer encoder (BERT-like). It provides a practical alternative to traditional NER models, which are limited to predefined entities, and Large Language Models (LLMs) that, despite their flexibility, are costly and large for resource-constrained scenarios. <p align="center"> <a href="https://pypi.org/project/gliner/" target="_blank"> <img alt="Python" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3670A0?style=for-the-badge&logo=python&logoColor=ffdd54" /> <img alt="Version" src="https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/gliner?style=for-the-badge&color=3670A0"> </a> </p> <p align="center"> <a href="https://aclanthology.org/2024.naacl-long.300/">📄 Paper</a> <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <a href="https://discord.gg/Y2yVxpSQnG">📢 Discord</a> <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <a href="https://huggingface.co/spaces/urchade/gliner_mediumv2.1">🤗 Demo</a> <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <a href="https://huggingface.co/models?library=gliner&sort=trending">🤗 Available models</a> <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;</span> <a href="https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1mhalKWzmfSTqMnR0wQBZvt9-ktTsATHB?usp=sharing"> <img align="center" src="https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg" /> </a> </p> ## Example Notebooks Explore various examples including finetuning, ONNX conversion, and synthetic data generation. - [Example Notebooks](https://github.com/urchade/GLiNER/tree/main/examples) - Finetune on Colab &nbsp;[<img align="center" src="https://colab.research.google.com/assets/colab-badge.svg" />](https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1HNKd74cmfS9tGvWrKeIjSxBt01QQS7bq?usp=sharing) ## 🛠 Installation & Usage ### Installation ```bash !pip install gliner ``` ### Usage After the installation of the GLiNER library, import the `GLiNER` class. Following this, you can load your chosen model with `GLiNER.from_pretrained` and utilize `predict_entities` to discern entities within your text. ```python from gliner import GLiNER # Initialize GLiNER with the base model model = GLiNER.from_pretrained("urchade/gliner_medium-v2.1") # Sample text for entity prediction text = """ Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (Portuguese pronunciation: [kɾiʃˈtjɐnu ʁɔˈnaldu]; born 5 February 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for and captains both Saudi Pro League club Al Nassr and the Portugal national team. Widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, Ronaldo has won five Ballon d'Or awards,[note 3] a record three UEFA Men's Player of the Year Awards, and four European Golden Shoes, the most by a European player. He has won 33 trophies in his career, including seven league titles, five UEFA Champions Leagues, the UEFA European Championship and the UEFA Nations League. Ronaldo holds the records for most appearances (183), goals (140) and assists (42) in the Champions League, goals in the European Championship (14), international goals (128) and international appearances (205). He is one of the few players to have made over 1,200 professional career appearances, the most by an outfield player, and has scored over 850 official senior career goals for club and country, making him the top goalscorer of all time.

Traditional NER models are effective but limited to a set of predefined entity types. In contrast, Large Language Models (LLMs) can extract arbitrary entities through natural language instructions, offering greater flexibility. However, their size and cost, particularly for those accessed via APIs like ChatGPT, make them impractical in resource-limited scenarios. In this paper, we introduce a compact NER model trained to identify any type of entity. Leveraging a bidirectional transformer encoder, our model, GLiNER, facilitates parallel entity extraction, an advantage over the slow sequential token generation of LLMs. Through comprehensive testing, GLiNER demonstrate strong performance, outperforming both ChatGPT and fine-tuned LLMs in zero-shot evaluations on various NER benchmarks.", } ``` ## Support and funding This project has been supported and funded by **F.initiatives** and **Laboratoire Informatique de Paris Nord**.
