How to Do Named Entity Recognition (NER) with a BERT Model

This post is in six parts; they are: • The Complexity of NER Systems • The Evolution of NER Technology • BERT’s Revolutionary Approach to NER • Using DistilBERT with Hugging Face’s Pipeline • Using DistilBERT Explicitly with AutoModelForTokenClassification • Best Practices for NER Implementation The challenge of Named Entity Recognition extends far beyond simple pattern matching or dictionary lookups.
