[Transformation](https://github.com/qurator-spk/neath/tree/master/tools) of [PAGE-XML](https://github.com/PRImA-Research-Lab/PAGE-XML) to [TSV](https://github.com/qurator-spk/neath/blob/master/docs/User_Guide.md#data-format).
### Named Entity Recognition
For Named Entity Recognition, a [BERT-Base](https://github.com/google-research/bert) model was trained for noisy OCR texts with historical spelling variation. [sbb_ner](https://github.com/qurator-spk/sbb_ner) is using a combination of unsupervised training on a large (~2.3m pages) [corpus of German OCR](https://zenodo.org/record/3257041) in combination with supervised training on a small (47k tokens) [annotated corpus](https://github.com/EuropeanaNewspapers/ner-corpora/tree/master/enp_DE.sbb.bio). Further details are available in the [paper](https://corpora.linguistik.uni-erlangen.de/data/konvens/proceedings/papers/KONVENS2019_paper_4.pdf).
