- text: "Todavia, entendo que extrair da aludida norma o sentido expresso na redação acima implica desconstruir o significado do texto constitucional, o que é absolutamente vedado ao intérprete. Nesse sentido, cito Dimitri Dimoulis: ‘(...) ao intérprete não é dado escolher significados que não estejam abarcados pela moldura da norma. Interpretar não pode significar violentar a norma.’ (Positivismo Jurídico. São Paulo: Método, 2006, p. 220).59. Dessa forma, deve-se tomar o sentido etimológico como limite da atividade interpretativa, a qual não pode superado, a ponto de destruir a própria norma a ser interpretada. Ou, como diz Konrad Hesse, ‘o texto da norma é o limite insuperável da atividade interpretativa.’ (Elementos de Direito Constitucional da República Federal da Alemanha, Porto Alegre: Sergio Antonio Fabris, 2003, p. 71)."

## (BERT large) NER model in the legal domain in Portuguese (LeNER-Br)

**ner-bert-large-portuguese-cased-lenerbr** is a NER model (token classification) in the legal domain in Portuguese that was finetuned on 20/12/2021 in Google Colab from the model [pierreguillou/bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr](https://huggingface.co/pierreguillou/bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr) on the dataset [LeNER_br](https://huggingface.co/datasets/lener_br) by using a NER objective.

Due to the small size of the finetuning dataset, the model overfitted before to reach the end of training. Here are the overall final metrics on the validation dataset (*note: see the paragraph "Validation metrics by Named Entity" to get detailed metrics*):
  - **f1**: 0.9082022949426265
  - **precision**: 0.8975220495590088
  - **recall**: 0.9191397849462366
  - **accuracy**: 0.9808310603867311
  - **loss**: 0.1228889599442482
  
Check as well the [base version of this model](https://huggingface.co/pierreguillou/ner-bert-base-cased-pt-lenerbr) with a f1 of 0.893.

**Note**: the model [pierreguillou/bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr](https://huggingface.co/pierreguillou/bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr) is a language model that was created through the finetuning of the model [BERTimbau large](https://huggingface.co/neuralmind/bert-large-portuguese-cased) on the dataset [LeNER-Br language modeling](https://huggingface.co/datasets/pierreguillou/lener_br_finetuning_language_model) by using a MASK objective. This first specialization of the language model before finetuning on the NER task allows to get a better NER model.

## Widget & App

You can test this model into the widget of this page.

Use as well the [NER App](https://huggingface.co/spaces/pierreguillou/ner-bert-pt-lenerbr) that allows comparing the 2 BERT models (base and large) fitted in the NER task with the legal LeNER-Br dataset.

## Using the model for inference in production
````
# install pytorch: check https://pytorch.org/
# !pip install transformers 
from transformers import AutoModelForTokenClassification, AutoTokenizer
import torch

# parameters
model_name = "pierreguillou/ner-bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr"
model = AutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained(model_name)
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_name)

input_text = "Acrescento que não há de se falar em violação do artigo 114, § 3º, da Constituição Federal, posto que referido dispositivo revela-se impertinente, tratando da possibilidade de ajuizamento de dissídio coletivo pelo Ministério Público do Trabalho nos casos de greve em atividade essencial."

# tokenization
inputs = tokenizer(input_text, max_length=512, truncation=True, return_tensors="pt")
tokens = inputs.tokens()

# get predictions
outputs = model(**inputs).logits
predictions = torch.argmax(outputs, dim=2)

# print predictions
for token, prediction in zip(tokens, predictions[0].numpy()):
    print((token, model.config.id2label[prediction]))
````
You can use pipeline, too. However, it seems to have an issue regarding to the max_length of the input sequence.
````
!pip install transformers
import transformers
from transformers import pipeline

model_name = "pierreguillou/ner-bert-large-cased-pt-lenerbr"

ner = pipeline(
    "ner",
    model=model_name
) 

ner(input_text)
