run_ner.py file with Distill Bert
## ❓ Questions & Help

<!-- A clear and concise description of the question. -->
I wish to use the Distill Bert model for NER. I am not sure if it will work with it directly. Any suggestions on that end would be great.
Also, what values should the parameters **--model_type** and **--model_name_or_path** take for Distill Bert?
Other parameters per my understanding would be the same.
I have the same issue. Did you end up using Distilbert?<|||||>Not sure how well it will perform. Casing is an important feature used in many NER tasks. So I would say it _could_ work, but ymmv. For reference: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56384231/case-sensitive-entity-recognition<|||||>RoBERTa is cased so you guys can try using DistilRoBERTa, released today by @VictorSanh:

```
--model_name_or_path distilroberta-base
```

You'll probably need to adapt run_ner.py (PR welcome)<|||||>Actually working on that today so I'll let you know how it goes. <|||||>This is actually really cool. I was looking today at the models and had no idea DistilRoBERTa was released today. Awesome @VictorSanh!<|||||>@amankedia I think this issue is resolved? If so we can resolve it :)<|||||>Solved indeed. Thanks everyone for contributing!
