-The **Impresso NER model** is based on the stacked Transformer architecture published in [CoNLL 2020](https://aclanthology.org/2020.conll-1.35/) trained on the Impresso HIPE-2020 portion of the [HIPE-2022 dataset](https://github.com/hipe-eval/HIPE-2022-data). It recognizes entity types such as person, location, and organization while supporting the complete [HIPE typology](https://github.com/hipe-eval/HIPE-2022-data/blob/main/documentation/README-hipe2020.md), including coarse and fine-grained entity types as well as components like names, titles, and roles. Additionally, the NER model's backbone ([dbmdz/bert-medium-historic-multilingual-cased](https://huggingface.co/dbmdz/bert-medium-historic-multilingual-cased)) was trained on various European historical datasets, giving it a broader language capability.  This training included data from the Europeana and British Library collections across multiple languages: German, French, English, Finnish, and Swedish. Due to this multilingual backbone, the NER model may also recognize entities in other languages beyond French and German.

-#### How to use
+The **Impresso NER model** is a multilingual named entity recognition model trained for historical document processing. It is based on a stacked Transformer architecture and is designed to identify fine-grained and coarse-grained entity types in digitized historical texts, including names, titles, and locations.
 
-You can use this model with Transformers *pipeline* for NER.

+### Model Architecture
 
-ner_pipeline = pipeline("generic-ner", model=MODEL_NAME, 
-                        tokenizer=ner_tokenizer, 
-                        trust_remote_code=True,
-                        device='cpu')
+The model architecture consists of the following components:
+- A **pre-trained BERT encoder** (multilingual historic BERT) as the base.
+- **One or two Transformer encoder layers** stacked on top of the BERT encoder.
+- A **Conditional Random Field (CRF)** decoder layer to model label dependencies.
+- **Learned absolute positional embeddings** for improved handling of noisy inputs.

La peste ne montrait aucun signe de répit, et le chancelier Guillaume de Nogaret, le conseiller le plus fidèle du roi, portait le lourd fardeau de gérer la survie du royaume."
+These additional Transformer layers help in mitigating the effects of OCR noise, spelling variation, and non-standard linguistic usage found in historical documents. The entire stack is fine-tuned end-to-end for token classification.

+### Entity Types Supported
+
+The model supports both coarse-grained and fine-grained entity types defined in the HIPE-2020/2022 guidelines. The output format of the model includes structured predictions with contextual and semantic details. Each prediction is a dictionary with the following fields:
 
+```python
+{
+  'type': 'pers' | 'org' | 'loc' | 'time' | 'prod',
+  'confidence_ner': float,              # Confidence score
+  'surface': str,                       # Surface form in text
+  'lOffset': int,                       # Start character offset
+  'rOffset': int,                       # End character offset
+  'name': str,                          # Optional: full name (for persons)
+  'title': str,                         # Optional: title (for persons)
+  'function': str                       # Optional: function (if detected)
+}
 ```

+#### Coarse-Grained Entity Types:
+- **pers**: Person entities (individuals, collectives, authors)
+- **org**: Organizations (administrative, enterprise, press agencies)
+- **prod**: Products (media, documents)
+- **time**: Time expressions (absolute dates)
+- **loc**: Locations (towns, regions, countries, physical, facilities)
+
+The model returns **person-specific attributes** such as:
+- `name`: canonical full name
+- `title`: honorific or title (e.g., "roi", "chancelier")
+- `function`: role or function in context (if available)

+
+## Uses
+
+### Direct Use
+
+The model is intended to be used directly with the Hugging Face `pipeline` for `token-classification`, specifically with `generic-ner` tasks on historical texts.
+
+### Downstream Use
+
+Can be used for downstream tasks such as:
+- Historical information extraction
+- Biographical reconstruction
+- Place and person mention detection across historical archives
+
+### Out-of-Scope Use
 
-### BibTeX entry and citation info
+- Not suitable for contemporary named entity recognition in domains such as social media or modern news.
+- Not optimized for OCR-free modern corpora.
 
+## Bias, Risks, and Limitations
+
+Due to training on historical documents, the model may reflect historical biases and inaccuracies. It may underperform on contemporary or non-European languages.
+
+### Recommendations
+
+- Users should be cautious of historical and typographical biases.
+- Consider post-processing to filter false positives from OCR noise.
