Baseline System

We have released a baseline system that fine-tunes the XLM-RoBERTa base model for each of the dataset.

This code repository provides the baseline approach for Named Entity Recognition (NER). In this repository the following functionalities are provided:

We expect, this baseline can be the starting point from where the participants can start building their own systems.

Baselines Results
