  ## Model description
22
- **xlm-roberta-large-masakhaner** is the first **Named Entity Recognition** model for 10 African languages (Amharic, Hausa, Igbo, Kinyarwanda, Luganda, Nigerian Pidgin, Swahilu, Wolof, and Yorùbá) based on a fine-tuned XLM-RoBERTa large model. It achieves the **state-of-the-art performance** for the NER task. It has been trained to recognize four types of entities: dates & times (DATE), location (LOC), organizations (ORG), and person (PER).

  Specifically, this model is a *xlm-roberta-large* model that was fine-tuned on an aggregation of African language datasets obtained from Masakhane [MasakhaNER](https://github.com/masakhane-io/masakhane-ner) dataset.
