  ## Model description 
  
  est-roberta-hist-ner is an [Est-RoBERTa](https://huggingface.co/EMBEDDIA/est-roberta) based model fine-tuned for named entity recognition in Estonian 19th century parish court records (for details, see [this repository](https://github.com/soras/vk_ner_lrec_2022)). 
  The following types of entities are recognized: person names (PER), ambiguous locations-organizations (LOC_ORG), locations (LOC), organizations (ORG) and MISC (miscellaneous names).
