How the models have been obtained: https://file.spk-berlin.de:8443/sbb_ner/konvens2019.pdf .


Installation:

Setup virtual environment:

virtualenv --python=python3.6 venv

Activate virtual environment:

source venv/bin/activate

Upgrade pip:

pip install -U pip

Install package together with its dependencies in development mode:

pip install -e ./

Download required models: https://file.spk-berlin.de:8443/sbb_ner/models.tar.gz

Extract model archive:

tar -xzf models.tar.gz

Run webapp directly:

env FLASK_APP=qurator/sbb_ner/webapp/app.py env FLASK_ENV=development env USE_CUDA=True flask run --host=0.0.0.0

Set USE_CUDA=False, if you do not have a GPU available/installed.

For production purposes rather use

env USE_CUDA=True/False gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 qurator.sbb_ner.webapp.wsgi:app

If you want to use a different model configuration file:

env USE_CUDA=True/False env CONFIG=`realpath ./my-config.json` gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:5000 qurator.sbb_ner.webapp.wsgi:app

Docker

CPU-only:

docker build --build-arg http_proxy=$http_proxy  -t qurator/webapp-ner-cpu -f Dockerfile.cpu .
docker run -ti --rm=true --mount type=bind,source=data/konvens2019,target=/usr/src/qurator-sbb-ner/data/konvens2019 -p 5000:5000 qurator/webapp-ner-cpu

GPU:

Make sure that your GPU is correctly set up and that nvidia-docker has been installed.

docker build --build-arg http_proxy=$http_proxy  -t qurator/webapp-ner-gpu -f Dockerfile .
docker run -ti --rm=true --mount type=bind,source=data/konvens2019,target=/usr/src/qurator-sbb-ner/data/konvens2019 -p 5000:5000 qurator/webapp-ner-gpu

REST - Interface

Get available models:

curl http://localhost:5000/models

Output:

[
  {
    "default": true, 
    "id": 1, 
    "model_dir": "data/konvens2019/build-wd_0.03/bert-all-german-de-finetuned", 
    "name": "DC-SBB + CONLL + GERMEVAL"
  },

  }
]

Perform NER using model 1:

curl -d '{ "text": "Paris Hilton wohnt im Hilton Paris in Paris." }' -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:5000/ner/1

Output:

[
  [
    {
      "prediction": "B-PER", 
      "word": "Paris"
    }, 
    {
      "prediction": "I-PER", 
      "word": "Hilton"
    }, 
    {
      "prediction": "O", 
      "word": "wohnt"
    }, 
    {
      "prediction": "O", 
      "word": "im"
    }, 
    {
      "prediction": "B-ORG", 
      "word": "Hilton"
    }, 
    {
      "prediction": "I-ORG", 
      "word": "Paris"
    }, 
    {
      "prediction": "O", 
      "word": "in"
    }, 
    {
      "prediction": "B-LOC", 
      "word": "Paris"
    }, 
    {
      "prediction": "O", 
      "word": "."
    }
  ]
