Finnish NER Extended 2020

TurkuNLP publishes an extended Finnish NER archive named combined-ext-model-130220. It uses FinBERT and the 18-category OntoNotes scheme.

Research release

An extended entity scheme

The extended release covers more than the six entity types in the Turku NER corpus. It includes categories such as geopolitical entity, facility and work of art, alongside numerical and time expressions. The official project page links an archive that remains downloadable over HTTP; a working HTTPS archive URL was not verified.TurkuNLP Finnish NER: extended trained model and download

Separate code and weight terms

The linked Keras implementation is MIT-licensed. That software license does not by itself state the terms for the separately hosted trained model archive.Finnish BERT NER implementation

Keep labels distinct

Practical guidance. Map each output category deliberately to the destination schema. Merging locations, geopolitical entities and facilities can remove information that this extended model was trained to identify. Older Keras packaging may also require a separate conversion before use in a current pipeline.
