biaffine_ner

Biaffine Named Entity Recognition.

class hanlp.components.ner.biaffine_ner.biaffine_ner.BiaffineNamedEntityRecognizer(**kwargs)[source]

An implementation of Named Entity Recognition as Dependency Parsing (Yu et al. 2020). It treats every possible span as a candidate of entity and predicts its entity label. Non-entity spans are assigned NULL label to be excluded. The label prediction is done with a biaffine layer (Dozat & Manning 2017). As it makes no assumption about the spans, it naturally supports flat NER and nested NER.

Parameters

**kwargs – Predefined config.

build_criterion(**kwargs)[source]

Implement this method to build criterion (loss function).

Parameters

**kwargs – The subclass decides the method signature.

build_dataloader(data, batch_size, shuffle, device, logger: logging.Logger = None, vocabs=None, sampler_builder=None, gradient_accumulation=1, **kwargs) → torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader[source]

Build dataloader for training, dev and test sets. It’s suggested to build vocabs in this method if they are not built yet.

Parameters

  • **kwargs – Arguments from **self.config.

build_metric(**kwargs) → hanlp.metrics.f1.F1[source]

Implement this to build metric(s).

Parameters

**kwargs – The subclass decides the method signature.

build_model(training=True, **kwargs) → torch.nn.modules.module.Module[source]

Build model.

Parameters

build_optimizer(trn, epochs, lr, adam_epsilon, weight_decay, warmup_steps, transformer_lr, **kwargs)[source]

Implement this method to build an optimizer.

Parameters

  • tagset – Optional tagset to prune entities outside of this tagset from datasets.

  • sampler_builder – The builder to build sampler, which will override batch_size.

  • devices – Devices this component will live on.

  • logger – Any logging.Logger instance.

  • seed – Random seed to reproduce this training.

Returns

The best metrics on training set.

fit_dataloader(trn: torch.utils.data.dataloader.DataLoader, criterion, optimizer, metric, logger: logging.Logger, linear_scheduler=None, history: hanlp.common.structure.History = None, gradient_accumulation=1, **kwargs)[source]

Fit onto a dataloader.

Parameters

  • trn – Training set.

  • criterion – Loss function.

  • optimizer – Optimizer.

  • metric – Metric(s).

  • **kwargs – Other hyper-parameters passed from sub-class.

predict(data: Union[List[str], List[List[str]]], batch_size: int = None, ret_tokens=True, **kwargs)[source]

Predict on data fed by user. Users shall avoid directly call this method since it is not guarded with torch.no_grad and will introduces unnecessary gradient computation. Use __call__ instead.

Parameters

  • data – Sentences or tokens.

  • batch_size – Decoding batch size.

  • **kwargs – Used in sub-classes.
