Gliner Multi V2.1

🚀 GLiNER

GLiNER is a Named Entity Recognition (NER) model. It uses a bidirectional transformer encoder (similar to BERT) to identify any entity type. It offers a practical alternative to traditional NER models with predefined entities and large, costly Large Language Models (LLMs) in resource - constrained scenarios.

🚀 Quick Start

GLiNER is a powerful tool for Named Entity Recognition. To start using it, you first need to install the library and then can easily load a model and perform entity recognition on text.

✨ Features

• Flexible Entity Identification: Capable of identifying any entity type, unlike traditional NER models limited to predefined entities.
• Resource - Friendly: A practical alternative to large and costly LLMs in resource - constrained scenarios.
• Multilingual Support: Some models support multilingual entity recognition.

📦 Installation

To use this model, you must install the GLiNER Python library:

!pip install gliner

💻 Usage Examples

Basic Usage

Once you've downloaded the GLiNER library, you can import the GLiNER class. You can then load this model using GLiNER.from_pretrained and predict entities with predict_entities.

from gliner import GLiNER

model = GLiNER.from_pretrained("urchade/gliner_multi-v2.1")

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.

labels = ["person", "award", "date", "competitions", "teams"]

entities = model.predict_entities(text, labels)

    print(entity["text"], "=>", entity["label"])
