README.md
A very simple framework for state-of-the-art NLP. Developed by Humboldt University of Berlin and friends.
Flair is:
A powerful NLP library. Flair allows you to apply our state-of-the-art natural language processing (NLP) models to your text, such as named entity recognition (NER), sentiment analysis, part-of-speech tagging (PoS), special support for biomedical texts, sense disambiguation and classification, with support for a rapidly growing number of languages.
A text embedding library. Flair has simple interfaces that allow you to use and combine different word and document embeddings, including our proposed Flair embeddings and various transformers.
A PyTorch NLP framework. Our framework builds directly on PyTorch, making it easy to train your own models and experiment with new approaches using Flair embeddings and classes.
Now at version 0.15.1!
State-of-the-Art Models
Flair ships with state-of-the-art models for a range of NLP tasks. For instance, check out our latest NER models:
| Language | Dataset | Flair | Best published | Model card & demo | --- | ----------- | ---------------- | ------------- | ------------- | | English | Conll-03 (4-class) | 94.09 | 94.3 (Yamada et al., 2020) | Flair English 4-class NER demo | | English | Ontonotes (18-class) | 90.93 | 91.3 (Yu et al., 2020) | Flair English 18-class NER demo | | German | Conll-03 (4-class) | 92.31 | 90.3 (Yu et al., 2020) | Flair German 4-class NER demo | | Dutch | Conll-03 (4-class) | 95.25 | 93.7 (Yu et al., 2020) | Flair Dutch 4-class NER demo | | Spanish | Conll-03 (4-class) | 90.54 | 90.3 (Yu et al., 2020) | Flair Spanish 4-class NER demo |
Many Flair sequence tagging models (named entity recognition, part-of-speech tagging etc.) are also hosted on the 🤗 Hugging Face model hub! You can browse models, check detailed information on how they were trained, and even try each model out online!
Quick Start
Requirements and Installation
In your favorite virtual environment, simply do:
pip install flair
Flair requires Python 3.9+.
Example 1: Tag Entities in Text
Let's run named entity recognition (NER) over an example sentence. All you need to do is make a Sentence, load
a pre-trained model and use it to predict tags for the sentence:
```python from flair.data import Sentence from flair.nn import Classifier
make a sentence
sentence = Sentence('I love Berlin .')
load the NER tagger
tagger = Classifier.load('ner')
run NER over sentence
tagger.predict(sentence)
print the sentence with all annotations
print(sentence) ```
This should print:
console
Sentence: "I love Berlin ." → ["Berlin"/LOC]
This means that "Berlin" was tagged as a location entity in this sentence.
- to learn more about NER tagging in Flair, check out our NER tutorial!
Example 2: Detect Sentiment
Let's run sentiment analysis over an example sentence to determine whether it is POSITIVE or NEGATIVE. Same code as above, just a different model:
```python from flair.data import Sentence from flair.nn import Classifier
make a sentence
sentence = Sentence('I love Berlin .')
load the NER tagger
tagger = Classifier.load('sentiment')
run NER over sentence
tagger.predict(sentence)
print the sentence with all annotations
print(sentence) ```
This should print:
console
Sentence[4]: "I love Berlin ." → POSITIVE (0.9983)
This means that the sentence "I love Berlin" was tagged as having POSITIVE sentiment.
- to learn more about sentiment analysis in Flair, check out our sentiment analysis tutorial!
Tutorials
On our new :fire: Flair documentation page you will find many tutorials to get you started!
In particular: - Tutorial 1: Basic tagging → how to tag your text - Tutorial 2: Training models → how to train your own state-of-the-art NLP models - Tutorial 3: Embeddings → how to produce embeddings for words and documents - Tutorial 4: Biomedical text → how to analyse biomedical text data
There is also a dedicated landing page for our biomedical NER and datasets with installation instructions and tutorials.
More Documentation
Another great place to start is the book Natural Language Processing with Flair and its accompanying code repository, though it was written for an older version of Flair and some examples may no longer work.
There are also good third-party articles and posts that illustrate how to use Flair: * Training an NER model with Flair * Training a text classifier with Flair * Zero and few-shot learning * Visualisation tool for highlighting the extracted entities * Flair functionality and how to use in Colab * Benchmarking NER algorithms * Clinical NLP * How to build a microservice with Flair and Flask * A docker image for Flair * Practical approach of State-of-the-Art Flair in Named Entity Recognition * Training a Flair text classifier on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and serving predictions on GCP * Model Interpretability for transformer-based Flair models
