## How to use
### TensorFlow 2.0
```python
from transformers import TFAutoModelForTokenClassification
tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("overfit/twiner-bert-base-mtl")
model = TFAutoModelForTokenClassification.from_pretrained("overfit/twiner-bert-base-mtl")
twiner_mtl = pipeline('ner', model=model, tokenizer=tokenizer, ignore_labels=[])

    abstract = "As a result of unstructured sentences and some misspellings and errors, finding named entities in a noisy environment such as social media takes much more effort. ParsTwiNER contains about 250k tokens, based on standard instructions like MUC-6 or CoNLL 2003, gathered from Persian Twitter. Using Cohen{'}s Kappa coefficient, the consistency of annotators is 0.95, a high score. In this study, we demonstrate that some state-of-the-art models degrade on these corpora, and trained a new model using parallel transfer learning based on the BERT architecture. Experimental results show that the model works well in informal Persian as well as in formal Persian.",
